Bypassing Congress, the Obama administration has issued a proposed administrative rule, which if adopted, would mandate the installation of "black boxes" in all automobiles and light trucks beginning in 2014.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed the regulation on Dec. 7, which it said "would capture valuable safety-related data in the seconds before and during a motor vehicle crash."

The proposed standard would require automakers to install event data recorders (EDRs) – so-called "black box devices" -- to collect specific safety related data in all light passenger vehicles beginning Sept. 1, 2014.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said approximately 96 percent of model year 2013 passenger cars and light-duty vehicles are already equipped with black-box capability.

96 percent of model year 2013 passenger cars and light-duty vehicles are already equipped with black-box capability.

Then why is it necessary for a mandate, what next, motorcycles, bicycles, our persons?
Will the public allow themselves the same tracking ability?

Answer is: They already have, most don't realize their phones have GPS, even if they haven't enabled it, it's working behind the scene.
Leave the phone home if you can bear to be without it, you'll feel a freeing sensation you haven't felt in a long time, and for some, the feeling of loss, like that of a loved one.

Somebody is going to be making  a lot of money disconnecting those things...

Just like they did when catalytic converters first came on the scene!

Don't think for one moment GPS isn't next, or motor vehicle disabling under the guise of public safety.
Then prepare for a mileage tax in 2020.

But right now, it's a basic system, though it is the proverbial camels nose poking in...

Change in forward crash speed.
Maximum change in forward crash speed.
Speed the vehicle was traveling.
How far the accelerator pedal was pressed.
Whether or not the brake was applied.
Ignition cycle (number of power cycles applied to the EDR) at the time of the crash.
Ignition cycle when the EDR data was downloaded.
Whether or not the driver was using a safety belt.
Whether or not the front air bag warning lamp was on.
Number of crash events.
Time between the first two crash events, if applicable.
Whether or not the EDR completed recording

And for a price, I can tell you where your wife or husband has been or your employee has been.   Did you park in a handicap spot, did you park in a no parking zone.

I a reminded of the program the MPD implemented in the the early 80's
the Black box called "The Iron Sergeant" was installed in selected police cars to monitor the "driving habits" of officers.

Those things were disabled, taken out of the cars, smashed with the fire axe all cruisers carry and left in front of the Captains door...... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
