Dave, If insurance companies and law enforcement start making use of these data collection systems in routine (non-accident) situations, one can bet that an entire cottage industry will appear that is devoted to modifying the collected data (and perhaps the data stored in the car-based memory itself) by drivers who do not wish their true driving behaviors to be known. Calls for the addition of GPS facilities to such equipment will only accelerate this trend. Of course, there will be attempts made to better "lock down" the systems, and an "arms race" will ensue.
Queue links to MegaSquirt and MegaJolt projects. You can already remove a fair amount of the computer hardware from your computer and replace it with software and hardware that you can control. The trick here will be in integrating the airbag and other safty devices so one doesn't give up safety for personal privacy. www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html www.bgsoflex.com/mjl/mjl_edis.html -- Steven Critchfield <critch () basesys com> ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
