Feds to Mandate Black Box on all New Cars

The feds will mandate next month that all new cars be fitted with a black box, according to news reports. So-called black boxes record information about speed, seat belt use and brake application.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been involved in the use of black boxes since their introduction. In 2006, the safety administration encouraged but did not require automobile manufacturers to install the systems and also did not set a single standard for the way data would be recorded, according to the New York Times.

In February, NHTSA administrator David Strickland said the government was considering making the technology mandatory in the wake of recalls of millions of Toyota vehicles. Strickland made the disclosure to a subcommittee hearing by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Now they will make the installation of these device mandatory under federal law. If we are to gauge the reaction of the corporate media, this story is not very important. Outside of industry and technology publications, the story was not reported.

Computer chip manufacturer Intel showed off its event recorder last year following the Toyota recall. “With new vehicles, there will very likely be video cameras inside and outside,” said Intel’s chief technology office, Justin Rattner, in a July, 2010, interview. “It’s not particularly new or stunning, but when you combine the cameras with GPS, you’re geo-tagging the video.”

In other words, your car – like your smart phone – may soon become a surveillance device and high-tech snooping will be mandated by the federal government.

I know many new vehicles currently produced have a device similar to this in them already. I guess the question is how far will the federal government take it when they gain control over them

Just another example of the Bureaucratic Bull**** Blues. How far they will go depends on how far we allow them to go. Notice that in nearly all of these cases it's the liberals who are behind these things. They are all about control - after all, it's all for our own good, right? GAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!

Go green was for yer good, not look at the price of Gas and where the jobs went. You didb't complain about Going green , or Al Gore did ya. :rant:
