<VV> Fwd: New Car Black Boxes - No Corvair

[Ken Pepke]

The proverbial 'black box' has been with cars since the inception of the air bag safety device.  They were collected by the manufacturers after a deployment.  They served to supply airbag feedback to the engineers.  Information collected was used to computer simulate the 'bag effectiveness.  After quite a few fatal accidents the score was:  Death by airbag deployment … 120+, saves by airbag … 0.   This information gave the engineers the material to force the government to allow them to change the designs to the '
second Generation' type which we now use.
