I think you would be surprised to know that "crash pulse recorders" have been in use since at least 1992 (See “FRONTAL IMPACTS WITH SMALL PARTIAL OVERLAP: REAL LIFE DATA FROM CRASH RECORDERS” Swedish National Road Administration Paper 98-S l-O- 13), and they record almost all data at the time of a crash.
I'm pretty sure there was a link to a news article about this a few months ago in the general board that had to do with Saab not wanting to give a recorder to Swedish police for them to use in an investigation.
One good thing, I think they are randomly placed in cars and these cars are then used in studies for improving crash test safety. Of course with how cheap electronics are now, I wouldn’t be surprised if all 9-3’s and 9-5’s were equipped with them.
