I had the SAME idea recently. 
With chip cameras being cheap, and a usb interface, this could be a real
nice thing to have on board. Give it a 10 second memory in ram, and dump to
flash when impact is sensed.. (or something like that. )

I was at a telematics conference in London about 2 years ago, where Ford
showed such a chip camera. Their idea for use was to automatically
forward the data to the emergency services, which could thus get an idea
of the number of passengers involved, and a rough estimate of their
injuries. The data would be transported via a wireless telephone
interface, similar to or together with OnStar data. By the way, OnStar
already notifies the OnStar operator when a crash is sensed. 

The main issue they cited for not having it already implemented, was
"privacy". They were afraid that somehow the data could be used for
other purposes, and they already saw the lawsuits that could follow.

Does anyone know the wiring scheme to connect an Ultimeter 2000 to a serial
port?

In cleaning up my ICON list,

I find the following additions over the last year or so we have considered
to the original spec ICONS.  Are there any others I have suggested?

CHARS  ICON      DESCRIPTIION

And recommended DIGI overlays:

Once I add any others, I will add this to my SPEC ERRATA web page...

If anyone is interested in looking on a map...  The incident scene is 
located at 43.906 N Latitude/96.587 W Longitude.  This is the intersection 
of 240th Street and 481st Avenue (sometimes referred to as County Roads G & 
J,  or MC13 & MC14, respectively).   Janklow was headed southbound on
