There are a zillion applications for black-boxes, so why not start somewhere more accessible and with more impact? Your own house, car, and person, for instance. Think of how many elderly people die at home and nobody knows the details leading up to it. I'm being a bit facetious here - perhaps we don't need to know in those cases, nor in the Titan case. It's not as if there could be any data there which advances submarine safety - unless somebody is planning to build a Titan v2 with the same technology, marginally improved safety, and similar lack of testing?
- gambiting 1y agoJust fyi - if your car has been manufactured in the last 10 years by a modern corporation(ie - not a Lada) it will have a black box already that records everything about the car's systems. They don't record sound from the cabin, but your speed, throttle position, movement of the steering wheel - it's all recorded.
- kijin 1y agoIn my country, people call dashcams "black boxes". They can be quite useful if you also want audio and video.
- gambiting 1y agoI mean I have them in both of my cars, but in some places like Austria it's straight up illegal to have them in your car. And in some others like Germany you can have it but the footage is inadmissable in court because the other person never agreed to be recorded. The built in telemetry recording is legal everywhere though.
