A "black box" in your car

Congress is working on a law that will put a "black box" in cars. This is the like a "black box" that is found in jet. Here is an article from the Washington Post: http://tiny.cc/86v3g.

I am interested in watching this debate, and I wonder who really benefits? The cost of the box will be passed on to the consumer; the consumer will have to pay for the cost to obtain any information from the box. So how will the information be used and for what purpose? The "box" will not be able to tell us who ran a red light. It will not be able to tell us who made an unsafe lane change.

Stay tuned.
