Black Box for Cars

- Detroit, who said the tape recorder before the accident situation as a black box can only aircraft owned by it? For now, the car also was able to have it. If the plane is called the black box flight data recorder, while for a car called Event Data Recorders (EDRs). This tool can intelligently assist the police investigators or any vehicle owner who wants to know more in the cause of the accident. For tool called EDRs are in use to watch and record data about how the system is run vehicles. The data which is stored data concerning the state of the car before and after the accident. "Applications and data collected by EDRs help us to save lives and prevent injuries," said Vice President, Environment, Energy and Safety Policy for General Motors Michael J. Robinson as quoted from the official website of General Motors (GM). With its present these tools in the car, the last state whether any drivers or their cars will use more or less known. Data that will be very important, especially for its future system improvements. "EDRs helps us understand the vehicle control systems, and more importantly, provide accident information to help improve the structural and control systems throughout the vehicle design," President Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said, Adrian Lund. GM itself has installed some preliminary versions of the product EDRs them since the 1990 model year ago and made it standard equipment on light duty vehicles model year 1995 vehicles. And now, the U.S. federal government suggested that it required installation of EDRs in every car was new. One member of the U.S. Congress from Democrats Gene Green had already approved it.
"It is vital that decisions on issues of safety supported by the best data, and we believe that EDRs can help the process. We agree with those who pushed for the use of EDRs further," Robinson said. Because this data can assist the parties in determining the cause of the accident more quickly, and can contribute significantly to increasing the number and quality of data that can be used as a database of data, such as NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Recording System (Fars) and the National Automotive Sampling System (Nass). "GM will cooperate with NHTSA, Congress and others about this issue, including taking the necessary steps to ensure that the important thing has been handled well," said Robinson. If the black box is installed in all vehicles, then who is most responsible in any accident can be identified easily.
