It's for my own good.
(It can report to Lois Lerner that I was at a Tea Party rally, she'll know what to do))

What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Hey, driving’s a privilege not a right, right?

Garbage in, garbage out.

[Diogenesis]

Like the IRS/ObamaCARE broadcasting health records
worldwide, this is hardly .... “protecting privacy”.

[dfwgator]

Of course with it comes the built-in “Kill Switch” which will stop your car if you go where you’re not supposed to.

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...

Cool. And think of the reduced paperwork burden. All they need is an automated ticket app. Speeding can be remotely detected and fines debited automatically from your checking account. How long do you think it will take to deploy this? 5...4...3...2...1....

The only question is which state will go first. I'd bet on California, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey, in that order.

[jsanders2001]

I knew these a$$hats were going to go there eventually. You’ll receive your speeding infractions and red light camera violations email and they’ll automatically deduct it from your bank account. They won’t have to ask for your banking info because they already have it from you enrolling in Obamacare. This should be a NO go. The idiot liberals will vote yes because want government to controll all aspects of their life. I can’t wait til they’re processed as Soylent Green or have their heads lopped off because they wanted to embrace cultural diversity by allowing Shariah law to be implemented. Their payday is fast approaching...

one reason I refuse to have on star or a GPS in my vehicles.

The amount of times I have heard some say on star is great and yet they go on about their personal lives and Govt is in intrusive

[Moonman62]

Provided that there is no identifying information, this could be a good idea.

[SpeakerToAnimals]

Why I drive 80’s Toyotas. One with aftermarket engine management.

I think all government employees should wear a GPS ankle monitor.

The system will not collect or store any data identifying individuals or individual vehicles, nor will it enable the government to do so."

"There is no data in the safety messages exchanged by vehicles or collected by the V2V system that could be used by law enforcement or private entities to personally identify a speeding or erratic driver," the report said. "The system — operated by private entities — will not enable tracking through space and time of vehicles linked to specific owners or drivers."

Social Security numbers will never be used for identification.

You will never be ticketed solely for not wearing your seatbelt.

If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

Government promises don't have the greatest track record.

[reg45]

There is no need for this type of a system to identify the driver or passengers in the vehicle, just enough information to make its presence known. “There is a vehicle here, watch out for it.”

[Pontiac]

"At the outset, readers should understand some very important points about the V2V system as currently contemplated by NHTSA. The system will not collect or store any data identifying individuals or individual vehicles, nor will it enable the government to do so."

The important words are “as currently contemplated”

Once the system is in place the recording part will be quietly implemented possibly not even by the DOT.

If this data is floating out there anyone can capture it and record it. It does not have to be the DOT.

Home Land Security will quickly take advantage of this easily obtainable information “to promote the safety of the United States”

[rockrr]

Good. Then I can hack into the car ahead of me and mash the gas pedal so he goes the damn speed limit!
