Isn't that special?
Incompetence on parade...
Is there anything that the government can’t soil more than it already has? No, and it’s doing it’s damnedest to cover everything as soon as it can.
Long live Big Brother!
(I love Big Brother)
This will be a first step to states taxing us by each mile we drive.
Not Black Boxes. Democrat Boxes that will be used not simply to collect accident data, but also destinations and conversations of those who may oppose the Democratic Party.
Gotta be a way to disable! Leave it up to American ingenuity.
Can mandatory video cameras be far behind?
I have looking at various sites and have not been able to tell if these are passive or active devices. An on-star type device the tells you where you are or just a record of your speed and other driving that can not retrieved remotely. 85% of new cars have them now.
There will need to be a website that describes where it is and how to remove or destroy it quickly. After all,, when you are in the a wreck,,, you own the car for hours, or even days after the accident.
Anything you elect to remove before it gets towed is fair game.
Will the House really support this? I can’t imagine why they would.
Creep of intrusion? Creep?? This amounts to a surrender of our rights. We are no longer a free people, we only think we are free.
It is a very small step to see that data reporting will be REQUIRED by the government. The boxes will grow in capability and we will be forced to download this data to a government collection point.
People with driving infractions will be court-ordered to do this.
Insurance companies (Progressive snapshot-thing) will get laws passed that will require people report to their insurer in order to continue to receive coverage.
Instead of the gas tax we will have to download our driving data on a regular basis to show how many miles we drove and then be taxed based upon miles driven.
Anyone with a restraining order will be required to submit data.
No, we are NOT free people. We are a managed people.
Insurance co's are also pushing this crap. Look at Progresive and that little do dad you plug in your cigarette lighter so they can observe your driving.
It's voluntary now but will become mandatory within a few years by all the carriers.
I predict lots of car buying prior to 2015
The only solution is going to be civil war. They will never, never, never stop until they are made to do so.
I guess we’ll have to start “jail breaking” our cars now.

Just stamp our foreheads and be done with it. Hello, Big Brother!
Not only in theory. I remember reading about a test in the Netherlands a few years back where they would monitor your car's location, and if you were speeding, they would actively slow it down! Guess it didn't catch on, because I haven't heard anything further, but the general implementation is only a bureaucrat's penstroke away.
