New legislation is up for debate in North Dakota that would require car buyers to be told if their new car or truck
is equipped with a black box that records accident information. The bill also would only allow black-box-gathered
information in court unless there is a court order to do so. Other states are also considering black box regulation
like Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Virginia. The battle of words continue between the automakers/ accident
investigation companies and consumers who feel that their privacy is being evaded. If around 90% of new cars have them,
what’s the big deal with making buyers aware of the system?
