Just because the NTSB wants it, I don't believe that makes 
it law.  However, the article indicates all 2004 GM and
15% of Fords already have them.  No mention of what it
does to the price of a car/truck, but I know it doesn't
make it cheaper.

Frankly, I won't buy a vehicle that has one of these boxes.
I don't think they are even required on private airplanes.
Ryan, is that true?  I can see some justification on 
commercial transportation, but that's it.
