DIY Telematics Box

Telematics boxes (aka Black Boxes) are used to record and log various attributes of a moving vehicle. They have been primarily used in airplanes to log various attributes of an aircraft, for example, air speed, heading, fuel levels, radio chatter etc. It is the first reference point for any aircraft incident, as it holds all the aircraft data leading up to the incident. This method of monitoring vehicle performance, condition, and movement has since been transferred to cars, allowing insurance companies to obtain a better estimation of driving styles in order to present the correct premiums to their customers.
