FAQ
What Is a Black Box?
A black box is actually a generic term for any computerized system that records driver safety, the vehicle’s status on the road, and information about a wreck. This means that a black box is not necessarily always black in color. There are many different types of black boxes. Some black boxes do not even start recording data until a collision is detected, though they will typically “grab” the previous minutes of recording from before the incident. The black box is the blanket term for an “Event Data Recorder.” These devices are set to start recording when they sense sudden deceleration, airbag deployment, abrupt braking, and seatbelt tensioner activation.
Does Every Motor Vehicle Have a Black Box?
Almost every motor vehicle has some version of a black box within them. Most passenger cars designed and produced today will have some sort of event data recorder. The car brands Ford, Chrysler, GM, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda all require their vehicle to have black boxes. Unless your passenger car is fairly old (before the early 1990s), then your car will more than likely have a black box. Refer to the CDR Vehicle List to see if your vehicle is compatible.
How Long Does It Take to Retrieve Black Box Data?
If the vehicle has power and located with in a reasonable location form us the typical process time for data retrieval and analysis is between 2-3 business days . However, it can take much longer if the event recording device was damaged in the motor vehicle collision. Black boxes are expertly made to be as close to indestructible as possible. Yet, they can still be heavily damaged in severe traffic accidents.
Are There Black Box Insurance Policies?
Yes, you can have telematics insurance (black box insurance) for your motor vehicle. Often, people will opt to have black box insurance instead of regular car insurance in hopes of having to pay less money in premiums. The event recording device works all the same. It will record all the time, it will track the policyholder’s driving behavior, and it will track the crash data if one were to occur. Your insurance premium payments can be tailored to how much you drive and how safely you drive with black box insurance.
Do Auto Insurance Companies Have Access to Your Black Box?
Many people worry about the prospect of their car insurance company spying on them through their motor vehicle’s event data recorder. It is important to know that, no, your regular auto insurance does not have access to your black box and its data. The only way an insurance company can track the data from your car’s black box is if you have specifically signed up for a telematics (black box) insurance plan.
Can a Lawyer Use Black Box Data in a Lawsuit?
Yes, attorneys can and often do utilize the information recorded from a black box to help with your legal battle. The information from an event data recorded is especially useful when trying to determine who is at fault for the crash. They can make use of black box data on the cars’ speed, brake applications, steering angles, and wheel turning.
