Big Brother Driving Monitor

Stuff like this has been under construction for a long time now. I'm surprised we haven't seen it yet. But it won't be long till all motor vehicles will be equipped with 'black boxes' to record position, speed, etc. Is this a good thing?

I would say it's not quite enough. The 'black box' under consideration would only record data, much like aircraft. I think it should transmit live data to sattelite for instant Big Brother monitoring.

You know those S.O.B.s in S.U.V.s driving as though possessed by the ghost of Dale Earnhardt who swing back and forth on the highway as though the other vehicles on the road were pylons? Wouldn't it be great if Big Brother Computer In The Sky could instantly shut down their vehicle, cell phone and checking account, while dispatching a robot to kick their ass? And then, do the exact same thing to the morons who slow down to watch! One step closer to paradise if you ask me.

Speed on (while you can),
-C
