They are called EDR's - Event Data Recorders; and collect information like speed, brakes on or off, steering angle, air bag deployment etc., prior to a crash - usually maintain a running record of 5 - 15 seconds.

Here's a website that can let you know IF your vehicle has one, and where it is located

Insurance companies and police know all about the existence of these things.

How many car owners do?

1. most folks who know a little about cars have known about them

not only police and insurance companies, but dealers and service techs know about them, too -- info pulled from on-board diagnostics has been used in the past to void warranties...
