Most cars built since the 1990's have on board sensors that record
engine failure data, and collision impact data.  These sensors report
the data to the diagnostics console when it is attached.  Collision
impact sensors trigger your air bags...

Don't forget there is a computer in your automobile and it is
processing data all the time the ignition is on.

Comparing a K3 to a car is not really accurate, except that each has
an onboard computer. ;o)
