Subject: Re: So the police and OnStar can disable your vehicle electronically... by SpectatorRacing on 2009/10/21 14:21:01 In a nutshell, isn't it safe to say that you don't have anything to worry about if you aren't breaking the law? Even if data recorders with live humans monitoring your driving habits became standard, if you're not doing anything wrong then you'll never be bothered. Basically you're asking for the ability to break the law and get away with it. In my case, all I'd have to do is slow down a little. Perhaps all the other assholes who run red lights and cut me off because they're on their cell phones will finally get punished. But more realistically, you have to remember that this information is only used in specific situations - like in a crash. And I sure as hell want the guy who screwed up to get the ticket and be responsible - hopefully it's never me. Do you think people sit around and look at your car's black box regularly? Obviuosly not. There are always conspiracy theory stories about this stuff which get blown out of proportion on the internet or TV. One guy out of 250 million people lost his warranty due to something on a data storage device and we should all run away from this technology. Come on. So you're going to stop using your PC on the internet because the government is watching that, too? |
