The Evolving Idea of a Black Box in Cars as a Standard Safety Feature

Cars have existed for well over a century, and during all those years we have seen thousands of models come out from various makes. Most cars that are produced seem quite similar to what had been made before. There are just a few that can be called innovative. In order to reduce and prevent the accidents, car manufacturers came up with many solutions. Some of which have been very effective at reducing and preventing accident fatalities. For 120 years, cars have been evolving in all aspects, the most important being safety. In fact, the quality and value of a car is based on the safety features it comes equipped with. The Black Box was first invented by a young Australian scientist named Dr. David Warren. While Warren was working at the Aeronautical Research Laboratory in Melbourne in the mid-1950s he was involved in the accident investigation surrounding the mysterious crash of the world's first jet-powered commercial aircraft, the Comet. Realising that it would have been useful for investigators if there had been a recording of what had happened on the plane just before the crash, he got to work on a basic flight data recorder. The first demonstration unit was produced in 1957.
