Event Data Recovery System (Black Box)

The history of the universe can be described as a progression, one event happening after another moving towards some unknown future.

We act the same way progressing through school and our careers and family untill fertilizer time.

This oh most certainly is only the first progression in the development of these boxes.

When will these boxes call the police to notify them of your speeding?

Or void your warranty because you went 1 mile over the oil change schedule?

Will your insurance company drop you when they find out you hit 95 mph on some empty wide open road?

Or raise your premium when they see you drive 9 miles to work instead of the 5 you claimed?

And what if you WERE doing 68mph in a 55 zone talking on your phone and someone without a black box cuts in front you from the medium going 10mph abruptly, and you crash with barely hitting the brakes?

They died, are you not at fault?
Shouldn't you be prosecuted?

Shouldn't your face be on the front page as the ba**ard who killed some aspiring high school student while you were recklessly speeding!

But I bet the box wouldn't defend you to say that you were the car driving the SLOWEST on the road at that time, that if you went the speed limit, chances are YOU'D be hit. That at that time you were on a HANDSFREE car kit for your cell phone at the time.

No, the media already has your jury selected and the verdict is in, 4 years upstate buddy, don't pick up the soap!

If you think I'm crazy imagine 20 years ago if I were to tell you that cars will someday be tracked by GPS (on-star) and that they would have blackboxes -

YOU WOULD CRY BULLS**T!

I remember reading something years ago when engine computers and diagnostic codes were relatively new. Cadillac had programmed a code in the engine computer that would permananetly get set if the car was driven over 75 MPH. Some dealers tried to use that to deny warranty claims, asserting it was abuse of the vehicle. I do recall that it created quite an outcry.

Vivid imagery! :eek:


All in all, on the surface your comments seem a bit paranoid...

I'm a skeptic, and I'm not one to buy into conspiracy theories, but I have to agree with the logic and observations, and I fear that much of this will someday come true... :6:
