Recently /.ed article. Black boxes in new cars huh? Sounds worse than the anti-crime cameras they put all over Oceania... I mean the UK.

1. The oft-used slippery-slope argument.
2. F ups in the system. (Hence the 1984 reference). 3. Corporations getting ahold of such information (insurance companies, etc.). Like having a black box in your car. I'm sure it reduces speeding quite a bit, but if your auto insurance company knows that you have a tendency to brake hard, finding a cheap rate could be difficult. -------------------- |
