Actually, some car manufaturers have been putting them in for some time. Insurance companies love the idea of a black box, set to record on a 5 - 20 second loop, it can record speed, bracking, sudden changes in steering, all just before the impact and air bag deployment. Law Enforcement can then use the data to help determine just who was a fault.

Next thing you know, insurance companies will be advertising the benefits of them, and they'll probably even give you a discount if your "data" indicates you are a safe driver. Wait, there's one {progressive} company that already advertises taking a snapshot of you...by Flo no less.
