The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the Department of Transportation, published last week an "advanced notice of proposed rulemaking" on "vehicle-to-vehicle communications."
What NHTSA is proposing could begin a transformation in the American transportation system that makes our lives better and freer or gives government more power over where we go and when.

And, this is why I will keep buying cars from the 1980s and early 2000s.
No updating my pick - up or my van.
I have wire cutters & Sears Craftsman Tools.
I’ll reinstall mine upside down and backwards and have the transmit time delayed one week.
I want my America back!
Let’s close or restrict funding to these fascists agencies.
If there was ever a case for civil disobedience, this is it.
A government agency.
For when your grades and performance were so abysmal that no private enterprise would have you.
Folks, they’ll do what they can to us until we return it back in spades.
All it takes is one car not broadcasting to break this and create even more safety issues. Privacy aside, it is a terrible idea to depend on broadcast information for safety reasons.
You can bet that someday this will probably happen. All it will take is a democrat congress and president, just like Obamacare. The technology exists now of course. Just ask any police officer. No more catching somes Z's at 3:00AM.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
Expect King Hussein the First to shortly announce another "cash for clunkers" deal to further dwindle the supply
Seriously, how do they plan to collect, store & retrieve all this data?
Oh, I forgot, this is all about targeting “enemies of the state” (i.e. Conservatives).

We have traded a middle class with a high measure of security in those things necessary to life and the starting and raising of families—like security in the workplace, in housing, in healthcare, in transportation, in education, in food supplies, in energy—for having to work like rats or have your job outsourced and take months to never to find a new job, to huge student debt, crushing medical costs, housing bubbles, cars that cost what houses once cost, rising grocery prices (seems every item I put in my basket is the better part of $5), sky high energy bills, and fancy electronic gizmo's.
It all reminds me how Native Americans were gulled into trading what was really important in their lives for glittering trinkets.
Your ipads and other consumer electronics are the glittering trinkets of the day, which by the back door, have turned our once healthy lives of real prosperity (prosperity in the real necessities of life) upside down.
Bravo, tell it like it is brother. You nailed it.
In the interest of fairness, this has to be put on mass transportation so we know who is on those vehicles. Also bicycles, vespas, subways and wheelchairs.
And those riding on mass transportation need to have valid ID to ride on those vehicles. ID which will be used as a voter ID card.
End it real quick.
Authoritarians appreciate high voter turnout, so just do as you are told and keep voting. That will solve everything.
