Car box may aid probe of crashes

By Leslie Miller -- The Associated Press

Posted August 4, 2004

WASHINGTON -- The National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday recommended for the first time that the federal government require passenger vehicles to be equipped with black boxes that record speed, seat-belt use, braking and other factors.

The safety board's recommendation arose from its investigation into the July 16, 2003, farmers-market crash in Santa Monica, Calif. Safety investigators were unable to interview the elderly driver who stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake, plowing into the open-air market, killing 10 and injuring 63.

The board concluded that investigators could have gained a better scientific understanding of the driver's behavior had his 1992 Buick LeSabre been outfitted with an event data recorder.

"We believe very strongly that vehicles should have a black box," NTSB Chairman Ellen Engleman Conners said.

In June, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said automakers are adding black boxes fast enough on their own. About 15 percent of vehicles now on the road have the data recorders, and NHTSA says 65 percent to 90 percent of 2004 vehicles have some sort of recording ability.

NHTSA at the same time proposed that recorders collect a standard set of data to help investigators. By September 2008, the agency wants recorders to collect up to 42 data elements.

Alan Schwartz commented on the article, "It was only a matter of time, our product will help to save lives on our roads today."
