I can agree with the speed limit being set to 80. Ya never know when one may have to speed away from a drive by shooter.

I do NOT agree with shutting down a vehicle if a cell phone is in use. Ask any person who has tried to get to their vehicle to drive to a police station and had to dial talk to 911 at the same time.

Now as far as the black box feature this is a double edge sword. That information being recorded can be used against you in a court of law, if not now then eventually in the future. So yes it hopefully would mean that rich kids who caused an accident will not be able to have their parents cover them. But the really wealthy parents I 'm sure will still be able to bribe public officials to get their kids out of jail anyway.

The black box feature can certainly be used for spouses or partners to keep tabs on the other. If this black box is installed on a vehicle I own, I better be able to use my own equipment to review and store the data. I better not have to go to say the police to retrieve it. But then that means there is the opportunity to alter the data which could be done by a smart teen or spouse in which case this kind of thing really only helps enslave those who are honest not corrupt enough to alter the data for their own deceptive purpose.

It's another tracking tool, but it's not a silver bullet to solve an issue, which is what anyway? Another excuse for parents to not be active or paying attention to what their teens are up to?
