It was a big disaster.....didn't work at all..................
Yeah, nobody wants to pay out of pocket needlessly. When I went to LA and planned to register my car, I had to go get a smog check that was $55. I wasn't too happy about that, and Florida never made me do it. Thankfully I left that liberal cesspool and came back.
The reason there are so many laws on the road is because automobiles are dangerous weapons in the wrong situation. Privacy should be for the home in my opinion. When you drive, you are at risk and putting people at risk. I think that everyone in this case has a right to know about where you are and what you're doing.
I can't seem to think of how such a device would impact me in a negative way. Eventually people will have to come to terms with the fact that we will never be completely safe in automobiles until they become guided. Be it rails or hover with autopilot it's the logical evolution of automobiles. However, I'm not fond of that. I own a 2002 Trans Am and I adore driving it around. I wouldn't appreciate having that luxury taken away, so we make a sacrifice. Danger for leisure.
I know this isn't about car safety. It's about the government tracking my car. I don't really care personally what they track, so long as I live in safety. There is only one thing I expect from the government and that is their protection. I can take it from there. I enjoy my personal responsibility.
GEICO knows every little detail about my car because it has a VIN. GOod for them. It saved me the trouble of having to prove that my car had ABS, airbags and an anti-theft device built in..
