Like with black boxes, it created a safety regulation in 2007 to require electronic stability control (ESC) on all passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks. The result was promising. According to an NHTSA study, ESC saved more than 2,200 lives between 2008 and 2010. ESC uses a computer to brake individual wheels and allow drivers to maintain control of a car in hazardous conditions.<\/p>\n<p>While black boxes cannot prevent car accidents, the data from EDRs can lead to the creation of life-saving technology like ESC.<\/p>\n<p>EDRs also provide helpful information for car accident lawsuits. If, for example, speeding was the cause of your accident, the car&#8217;s black box will determine how fast the at-fault driver was driving, thus helping to prove his or her guilt. EDRs are the ultimate witness &#8212; they provide objective data and their memories do not fade over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <\/strong>The Detroit News, &#8220;NHTSA gets White House OK to mandate vehicle &#8216;black boxes,'&#8221; David Shepardson, Dec. 6, 2012<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now, you have probably heard that the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received permission to move forward with final rulemaking that will require all new passenger vehicles to come equipped with black boxes, or event data recorders (EDRs).
