GPS nav system now integrates a black box
Jul 18, 2007 gps navigation
Korean Mercury just announced a new navigation system called Black Eagle (or MD3000) that doubles as a black box.
The black box uses a special camera to record video of accident for about 18 seconds (12 seconds before the accident and 6 seconds after), considering any situation of reaching a negative 1.1G acceleration as an accident. It relies on a special software to detect the vehicle and its break lights from your vehicles windshield. The black box also tries to warn drivers with alerts before you get into an accident.
Just to prevent any confusion; the device can not detect the accident 12 seconds before it happens, it just let’s you rewind back 12 seconds after it happens… via

[...] While GPS units seem to be getting increasingly indistinguishable from one another these days, Korea manufacturer Mercury’s latest device looks like it won’t have much trouble standing out, with it boasting an integrated black box to record the final moments before an accident (GPS induced or otherwise). Apparently, the system uses a camera to track vehicles in front of you, with it able to detect when a car’s break lights go on. whether there’s an accident, the system kicks in to store 12 seconds of video before from the accident and six seconds after — it’ll additionally try to warn you whether it thinks you’re headed for an accident. Otherwise, you’ll get pretty much all the other features you’d expect, including the usual array of PMP functions and built-in DMB TV capabilities, which should form that black box all the increasingly crucial.[Via Navigadget] [...]
