I thought this might be so as the computers are getting better in cars.

oh,oh, this means no newer cars for me, I can't imagine my car'* little "black box" in court tell'n on me!

Yeah I wouldn't want my car telling them that I just hit the punk rather than hitting the brakes.

GM is smart.. that has saved them millions in court.
every vehicle in the last 8-10 years that GM has made also has a GPS.
The black box isnt all that black.. its silver.. lol I took mine appart(in my 92trofeo) and drove without it and after an hour of driving i got shut down. So did you just think those wires going to the seat belt where just for kix?
-The 95 Deville in the story has a body control moduel so cadillac hardly ever goes off on a limb so you could tell that my trofeo has the ginnipig BCM/SDM for those cadis!
They didnt mension what GM had the first Air bag.. ahem! the 74 toronado... AKA the ginnipig!

There was a joke about this
"The most common thing said before a crash in ... was 'Oh ****!'"
"The most common thing said before a crash in alabama was 'hey son, Hold my beer and watch this!'"

Also if your in say a truck or an suv or small car GM has the right to remotly shut your vehicle down and void your warrenty if you are going over 160km/h... They probably wouldnt do this if you where in a big lux sedan or a corvette.

This technolagy has been in semi trucks for a long time... If you where speeding in a company truck or with a company trailer the company that hired you can take the speeding ticket off of your pay... (even if you dont get pulled over) - once you hit 11% over the speeed limit they automaticly take 2-300dollars off of your pay check.

From my point of view, working for the General, it'* already proven invaluable! It saved GM from getting sued by one jerk that said his air bag went off accidently while driving down a county road......What this jerk forgot to mention was that he was doing 140 MPH at the time on a "wash-board" road, which the car'* ECU thought was a panic stop due to lack of traction & inflated the air bags.....Finale was jerk got case thrown out & could face fines in the thousands for numerous traffic violations......Court also ruled that air bags did exactly what they were designed to do too.

thats weird..i never knew cars had that...nice find on that article!

Um, references for this, please?
