I don’t like the EDR’s. How long before if not already, they record how fast you have been driving even without an accident. Such as getting ot the point where you get pulled over, a cop plugs into your EDR and downloads the data and then traffic tickets are written based on the data.

Of course. Drones will be flying in the future that use some form of mandatory 'off' switch that will turn of your vehicle that has a mandatory EDR chip inside.

All roads will have tolls, tracking, etc. Where use of EDR will 'allow' ya to drive on said roads.

I’d like to think that they would overwrite data more than, say, twelve hours old. With that in mind, I wouldn’t object. Especially if it mught lower my insurance premiums. Though I can also readily see that it would individually depend on what kind of driver one really is.

You do understand that the primary purpose of these “black boxes” is to generate data for use by the government for the purpose of calculating “energy taxes” that will be coming down the pike sooner or later, right?

I value my privacy, my aloneness...often, I'll get in the car and go driving out in the country, on back roads if I can find them...

they'll steal that little pleasure on me....

Or gather it through a wireless connection without your knowledge.
