They typically only record the last 15-30 seconds of the drive and cease recording when the airbag goes off. They do record things like the car speed, wheather the brakes are being applied, and if the seatbelts are being worn. This information is subpoenable in an accident situation and are downloadable if you know what to do. I have not seen any black box erasers yet but give it time.

They've been in certain cars since the mid 90s. As usual a technology is already in place and being used before the mainstream public is informed about it. These 'black boxes' started out being used by the trucking industry and then made it into cars. Now they are simply evolving to further destroy our privacy. These are not new.
