Don't disagree on what could be. The technology exists to do what everyone is affraid of. But this isn't that technology.
Not sticking my head in the sand anymore than linking registering my firearms to someone coming to my door to take them. They aren't the same thing and they are far from it.
This is the black box that is the first thing they look for when a plane crashes. It helps reconstruct what happened. It isn't spying but it keeps people from lying.
Seriously guys this isn't spying. It's a long way from spying and if you really want to get worried about stuff worry about the technology you don't know about.
If you think in the world we live in today that what you do with your phone, your computer, your bank, your credit card aren't being tracked you are putting your collective heads in the sand. This is just a recording device that can confirm what your car did in the last 6 to 10 seconds prior to a crash.
Why when I bought something on line from Sears was my credit card shut down? Because it's being tracked by algorithms that the credit card company uses to monitor my spending patterns to alert to fraud. That information is just as easily accessible in fact more so. For this they have to have your car after an accident.
And again, if you haven't been in a bad crash and you drive away it's simply going to record the next 6 to 10 seconds.
Black box.......airplane crash..........most important thing to find AFTER the crash to discover what happened. No different.
