The car companies see this as a major revenue engine. They do not want to see anything legislated, so they are jumping the gun by showing the government that they are capable of policing themselves.
Its all total bullshit of course....

Indeed. I didn't read the article but I did hear about it on the radio driving into work (yes, radio). Driving is chocked full of little distractions, but what the interviewer said was that the digital control on the dash is even more distractive than a phone. I can relate to that - I drove a 2014 rental with one of those. I was a major distraction, and also a pain in the ass. I like my manual controls thank you.
You make it sound like I'm actually endorsing this. I am not. I don't even own a cell and I don't care to. Still though, if the rule is choosing the lesser of two evils, which one is better (or worse)?

There's just something funny about the idea that our civilian population needs to create an informal spy agency to help it spy on its own government - that's essentially what we're proposing here.
Let me make this perfectly clear. There is not a single fucking thing about that proposition that is funny whatsoever.
Those who died for our freedoms we're losing aren't laughing.
I think he said it rhetorically.
CNN has reporters? When did that start?
Ha! I'd mod you up if I could
keep your "benefits". I'll keep the wages I earned from my labor.
Interesting. So you will give up the infrastructure that supplies you with your daily needs? Best you get off that road, turn off that light, water, etc. and make sure you never lose your job because you will get no help whatsoever.
All software that touches the Internet?
Good luck with that.
Once the law came in banning 100 watt bulbs I went and bought a crap load of them. CFLs are junk in cold temps...
Thank goodness the NSA was on top of this and notified everyone of the threat. Tanks NSA...
