Toyota promise

[rov1200]

Toyota are going to put 'aircraft style black box' in new versions of their cars. In this way if a driver has an accident the readings will establish whether the driver is at fault.

Now that expense is not an issue should all new cars be fitted with a black box?

I work for a company who make the "black box" for helicopters. At £12000 each that it 24 times what I paid for my car!

I assume the black box for cars would be a lot cheaper than this?

cars dont fall out of the sky at 10,000ft

True, also not that often a car ends up in really deep water.
