The blackbox, a known device in airplanes designed to provide the final record in the event of a crash. Enter the Roadbox, the automobile’s equivalent.

Designed by PLK Technologies under Hyundai Motors, this device records your car’s diagnostics like speed and acceleration while visually monitoring your driving through a wide screen [120 degree] video camera.

“The RoadBox captures crucial accident data at the moment of crash by recording accident images and vehicle acceleration data 14 seconds before a collision and for six seconds after impact,” says Abu Sharkh, PLK General Manager.

Now while PLK state that the Roadbox can withstand temperature of up to 85 degrees Celsius, they don’t mention the device’s strength - which when talking about anything like a blackbox, is the most important spec.

We do, however, acknowledge the function of such a device after any car accident. Imagine having proof, on video, you weren’t in the wrong?

The Roadbox fetches around US$175.
