A vehicular "black box" provides recording means by which driver action can be
reviewed after an accident or collision, as well as indicating immediate vehicle
disposition status to the driver. Using cameras (which may be very small), the
disposition of the vehicle in its lane is determined by detecting the highway lines
painted on the road.
The data is also recorded so that should an accident or collision occur, the
events leading up to such an event are made available for later review and analysis.
