If you've ever heard a news report of a plane crash, you know that there is a device referred to as the "black box" that records information about the plane's last few moments before the crash. It records air speed, *censored*pit conversations, control positions, altitude, etc. What you may not know is that the automobile and insurance industries are quietly slipping black boxes into our cars. These boxes are ostensibly there to provide data that can be used to make cars safer and more crash resistant. But a lot of people, myself included, think that the boxes are an invasion of our privacy. We're not told what they record, who's allowed to access them, or even that they're present in our cars. This article describes some of the privacy issues these devices represent.
