Yep, these devices have been been in use a long time. But, I don't think most of them are communicating with the control center, at least not yet. The black box information is usually analyzed after an accident since they only retain the information for the last minute or so of driving. Think of it as a flight data recorder. It can't shut down your engine.

If you have On Star, or the like. they can actually reduce power in a stolen vehicle or stop a vehicle in a pursuit. I just think that most pursuits don't last long enough for the police to contact the control center. Eventually, that will change as more cars come equipped with the devices.

And, the Feds have gotten search warrants to listen in on conversations in cars equipped with On Star-like devices.

I have not found any black boxes in FFPW's yet. But, I will keep looking.
