S. car authorities, NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) have stated that they seek to mandate that manufacturers gather additional collision data from event data recorders (EDRs), sometimes referred to as "black boxes," starting in 2022. To better comprehend the events leading up to an accident, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggested mandating black boxes to gather 20 seconds of pre-crash data at a higher frequency rate. NHTSA currently requires five seconds of pre-crash data at a slower collection rate for vehicles with EDRs.

In 2020, Ampex Data Systems in Hayward, Calif., is introducing the Common Architecture Recorder (CAR) to meet demands for low-cost data acquisition, recording, and network attached storage (NAS). The CAR is for expendable systems like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). The CAR offers low cost, small size, and scalability. It weighs two pounds, has a volume of 62 cubic inches, and offers as much as 2 terabytes of data storage.
