It might have been Rush a few years ago mentioning this.
These “Black Boxes” will be able to track you and see how often you were speeding and where you went at what time, etc.
When your black box is shown to have recorded excessive speed you can expect a ticket in the mail.
Not a good idea, at all.
exactly, this is ripe for tyranny and corruption.
You’re right, and there is no telling how many thousands of dollars it will add to the price of a car.
Not good at all. More government control over your every move.
I once worked in a job that required me to review and design algorithms for OBDII (On Board Diagnostics II).
There was a serious proposal from CARB (the California Air Resources Board) that we design all of our engine control modules to allow them to be queried by radios / computers located along the roadways.
The idea was that any engine that was malfunctioning in a fashion that might cause emissions standards to be exceeded would “tell” on itself and the owner would receive a summons requiring them to have their vehicle serviced or be fined. They were dead serious about this.
CARB would make all internal combustion engines illegal if they had their way. They are far left environmental nutjobs.
I don’t want any of my vehicles equipped to “tell” on me.
