Car Blackbox

I don't know if some1 posted this article, but I remember there being a topic about it in the past. Here is an interesting video on cnn.com

http://www.emailthis.clickability.co...oID=1700609174

This car blackbox business is getting annoying. Anyone down to get an older car because of this??

If some1 already posted this, can a mod delete the thread. Thanks

Very surprising, and disturbing I thought the data belonged to to the vehicle owner. And wasn't to be used unless the owner released it. What's next, having a yearly data dump for the DMV to fine you for evry recorded speeding event?

Also, aparently the vehicle's readings, and the accident reconstructions were over 20 MPH off of each other.

I guess my next car is going to be an FC... ...well not really, but this is definately something to keep an eye on

OH YES, BIG BROTHER IS ALIVE AND WELL

The way I see it is if your driving like an *** an kill someone or injure someone you should be held liable. If that means using the cars black box well then I'm all for it. I don't think they should use it for any other reasons though. Now if the data is that incorrect then they need to take that into account.
