I am unhappy about this. My submission was better written and rejected twice. This showed up over a week after my original submission:

Jerks.

(Wow, these grapes are sour.)

Who else knows about your driving habits? Autoweek has an article: "Under the Hood, with Big Brother" concerning those automotive "black boxes" known as Event Data Recorders (EDRs), exactly who's using them and for what purpose (they're not just for airbags anymore). The magazine's testers got a surprise when an OnStar operator called them after they had completed a slalom run. The article highlights both the use/abuse potential and the fact that there is currently no consistant regulation concerning ownership of the data collected. A good overview if you don't know much about this, or for anyone you know who is shopping for a new car, as it appears that different car manufacturers seem to have different opinions as to how much privacy you deserve.
