I agree with you on the Government part. They have no business in my car at all...

I agree with you that they have no business in your car. But that would only be if it remains in your driveway.

The government does have the "business" of regulating it once it leaves your driveway and takes to the public, and therefore the government's streets. This is no different than licensing of drivers, registration of vehicles or even traffics laws. Once the "the people" make traffic and safety laws through the legislative process, it becomes the duty of the government through the executive process to equitably enforce the laws. And since a large portion of our public can no longer be counted on to be responsible for its individual actions, the government must
be thrust into the role of regulator.

It is not the car that speeds, zig-zags and weaves in and out of traffic with reckless abandon and at the peril of everyone else in the vicinity, it is the driver. And what better way to help us good drivers than to have a "black box" in every car. What are you afraid of?
