No, in the U.S. too. In fact it started here with GM. The automakers wanted real world conditions of how drivers use their cars and what actually happens in accidents, so they started installing these devices in random vehicles. Now the trial lawyers have found out and the auto makers have to pony-up the info in court cases when asked. Percentage of vehicles with these boxes is very low and you probably will never know if yours has one.
Interesting side note. GM used to send young engineers (predominately male)on extended road trips to observe and record real world driving habits of other drivers. Their supervisors were bafled on how similar all the data was, regardless of where collected. Turns out the young engineers had only been observing young female drivers! Hence the black box.
