For those of you who always wanted to prove you didn’t cause that car accident, Mercury may have your solution. Their latest GPS unit includes an integrated black box to record the final moments before an accident. It uses a camera to track vehicles in front of you, and if there's an accident, the system kicks in to store 12 seconds of video before the accident and six seconds after. We look forward to seeing it debut on our tech countdown in the coming weeks.
