By the fall of 2014, it could be mandatory that all new cars come equipped with a “black box”  like those found on planes.

The event data recorders will be able to detail all sorts of information including its primary focus of what happens during a crash like how fast the car was going and the number of passengers.

Some groups worry your privacy could end up being put at risk, but it’s already too late.

Many automakers have voluntarily installed the devices already.

The National Transportation Safety Agency has the authority to push this agenda and there’s nothing really standing in its way.
