Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of “privacy” reasons. What do you think about it?

    Frame rate doesn’t necessarily have to be high. Idk how the black boxes on airplanes work, but surely storage options have increased a lot since their invention, right?

      They’re basically several terabytes of memory cards with a really really really good casing, locator beacon and a big battery.

      Storage has improved hugely, but they also went from storing a hundred parameters once per second to storing a few hundred thousand parameters in pretty much realtime. Dozens of terabytes of data is already going in there.

      On the other hand, we can basically realtime encode video nowadays, so I don’t see why another 100gb would be a problem.
