Aeroplanes come with black boxes, so why not cars? Apparently, that’s what Honda hopes to change with its Drive Recorder that is capable of detecting impacts while saving data of up to a dozen seconds before and eight seconds afterwards. that knowledge includes forward-view imagery, sound, speed input, and deceleration, all stowed away in an SD memory card within the Drive Recorder itself. Guess insurance agents and the authorities will have a much easier day pinpointing who is in the wrong in the event of a collision. The Honda Drive Recorder retails for approximately $500 and currently works with Honda cars only (duh!).
