Re: Do Rangers Have A Black Box?
Yes we do have them starting in 2001. The event data recorder function is integrated into the airbag control module to the best of my knowlege. I can tell you that the event data recorders only save about 12-15 seconds before an "event". The sensors that work the airbag system determine what an event is. It doesn't neccessarily only save it when the bags go off, but near-deployment situations also. They are not like an aircraft which saves hours upon hours of data that can be retrieved at any time. It is designed only for crash investigation.
They are not mandatory.
