Adler, Jerry. “The End of the Black Box: There’s a Better Way to Capture Plane Crash Data.” Wired. Since 2002, some legislators have pushed for the Save Aviation and Flight Enhancement Act, which would require not one, but two flight recorders, including one that automatically ejects itself from the plane during an incident. Like K.I.T.T., digital cars have navigation systems — and these onboard guides are about to get even more sophisticated. Such systems eliminate the desperate search for a box that may have been destroyed in a crash, and may be more dependable, too. There are all sorts of potential improvements on the horizon for black box technology. I hope I’m never part of an accident scene where a black box is necessary.

The navigation display sits on top with a computer display, a sun compass, speed display (0-12 mph, 0-20 kph), reset buttons and a pitch-angle meter that tracks the slope that the rover’s on. The Top of the Rockies Scenic Byway boasts beautiful vistas, cool mountain air, and the fresh scent of pine trees.

These lakes and rivers are set among and near some of the highest mountains in the Rocky Mountains. The many lakes and streams provide rafting and fishing adventures, while the high Rocky Mountains lend themselves to camping, hiking, skiing, or mountain biking. Twin Lakes and Turquoise Lake afford opportunities to fish, camp, and boat along the tranquil shores of the mountain lakes. The rich mines of the area led to the growth of communities such as Twin Lakes, Minturn, Leadville, and Red Cliff. Fortunes were made, and communities soon developed to meet the needs of the growing mining populations. While mining brought many people to the area, when fortunes were harder to come by, many residents turned to farming, and thus the boomtowns remained lively communities. Those same neighbors can pick up your mail and packages while you’re gone on vacation or even park their car in your driveway as a decoy. About 90 percent of new cars have event data recorders (EDRs) that track the same kind of data as airplane black boxes. This article w as done with GSA Content Gener ator Dem oversion!
