Comment black box, big brother or just a blackbox (Score 1) 612
Here are two points to be made pro and con.
ONE - If the black box only records the 15 second before an accident then it can be helpful in that situation.
TWO - If the black box acts like a big brother that watches every action via remote (speed, GPS location etc.)
Then that is a violation of privacy.
Technology can assist humans to do the right thing, not enforce. To expect fear to enforce the right actions based on others opinions of ethics is childish at best. It is a novel and romantic idea to think that technology will fix all the problems and no human intervention will be needed. Technology is not infallible. Drunks will still drive and idiots will still cause accidents no matter how hard we try to prevent them. So get a grip on reality.
The point is if you as a "human" is to drive under a speed limit set by "humans" which is monitored by "humans" then it only makes sense to replace all three with technology. That way all blame for falling outside the speed parameters fall on the technology as well, no speeding, not tickets.
The day when big brother takes over our vehicles and starts ticketing all of us every day for exceeding speed margins via 1mph. Don't start your bitching when it comes back to bite your pocketbook. I feel that the day when this happens we also should get speed governors installed to keep from getting tickets too. That way human intervention (speeding and speeding tickets) is eliminated and a fraudulent cover for revenue is revealed.
let the flaming begine.
