Well, OP cars don't typically have blackboxes although I remember reading some articles back in the day of how some manufacturers had the ability of the ECU to behave like a blackbox for a few moments. Since it is possible to read OBD 2 freeze frame history, the car would also store some of this key info leading to an incident.
Your car actually reads a lot of info, think about the VDC system and the automatic braking... And the voice recognition/noise cancellation features. I know it reads, which requires short term memory to process, but I have no idea if it records the info long term.

This feature was supposed to be helpful for accident investigations (whether by driver or vehicle fault), and it would be able to corroborate stories like the runaway Toyotas where the driver would input X expecting Y and the vehicle would output Z.

I don't think I ever saw mention of which manufacturers were doing it, neither have I ever seen anyone boast about it.
I'm sure it would be a PR nightmare with all the privacy concerns our society has. However, I think if enough money was involved, someone could get that info within a few minutes of plugging in.

I remember 'hearing' somewhere that vehicles equipped with GPS / NAV also have a device that allows review of state of multiple systems at the time of impact.
I'm just not sure if I heard it from a knowledgeable source or a drunk relative at a past christmas dinner, etc which makes this info near enough a rumor. If you contact your dealer, they may be able to confirm or deny.
My concern, now that I think on it, what if it records voices and can be hacked, allowing publication of dirty banter between me and the misses at long stop lights and car parks?? @#^%&$%$@)*& !!!
