Well actually it didn't, but if I was involved in a crash - along with just about every owner of a Ford or GM vehicle built in the last 3 or 4 years, as well as not a few imports - it could very well do just that.
It's a dirty secret that's not so secret. Civil rights groups have known for some time, as well as the unfortunates that have had their criminal charges upped after the police successfully downloaded the contents of their EDRs (Event Data Recorder). What's an Event Data Recorder? Quite simple really, it's a device that records all your vehicle's statistics (speed, airbag deployment, etc) up to 20 secs prior to your car smashing into (or being smashed by) another.
Unfortunately there's not much you can do about it, particularly if you want to buy an American made vehicle, and things are about to get worse.
Very soon the Government is hoping to force all auto makers that want to do business in the US to standardize on a single, common EDR, one their investigators can easily connect to with modem-like devices, providing all the data necessary to prosecute the public.
In a small concession to the civil right's groups monitoring the situation, auto makers will be required to inform owners when they purchase such a car - something you're not being told at the moment.
Of course you could choose to look for a make and model that doesn't support this feature, but the list of such cars is about to shrink very rapidly - and just finding that sort of data is not particularly easy. No one likes to admit they've been spying, indeed even those that do admit to the existence of such devices claim they are there for your own safety (so they can build safer cars after you crash enough of them).
Naturally those that think this is one step away from your car calling the cops the minute your foot goes a little to hard on the gas are being labeled as conspiracy theory nuts; because we've never caught a private company spying on it's own customers before have we? Such a suggestion is straight from the Crackpot's Book of Things They've Been Imagining For Years. Besides, apart from an instant get out of lawsuit free card, what on earth would be in it for the manufacturers - "Your husband was a speeding criminal, after all our car that explodes going round corners too fast would have been perfectly safe if he wasn't doing 35.0785 in a 35 mph speed zone".
So there you have it, the Government wants your car to let them know when you're ready to be shipped to Gitmo, and in fact in most cases it already does.
