To clarify some points. The "black box" is a rolling set of data for the last few seconds. It is only used after crashes to help determine what happened. If you get pulled over for speeding your data will be overwritten before you get ot the side of the road.

If the newer systems store it for a longer period there will probably be big legal issues as well as an aftermarket to clear or reprogram it before you try to trade.
