Big Brother is Watching...

SCARY STUFF.

Privacy, anyone?

The modular components record data, such as seat-belt use, speed, hard braking, hard cornering, pedal-to-metal acceleration and throttle position, that can be uploaded to home computers using software that analyzes driving performance.

No more telling your parents you're going to your friend's house to study while you actually pick up your girlfriend and go to "Lover's Lane".

No more arguing with the cop re: your speed. No more arguing about you having been "on the brakes" before an accident.

Scary stuff for real.

Worst part is the next release with GPS real-time tracking so the parents can go online and see exactly where the car is. Time to park at the library and hop into a friends car I think.
