New cars may have to have a black box inside each one if the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) new regulations go into effect. Yes, it looks like cars 
will go the way of airplanes because NHTSA is hoping to see each and everyone fitted with a black box type of data recorder.
Understandably, not everyone is thrilled about the idea of constantly being recorded. However, a closer look at the NHTSA's new regulations show that they want to make sure that there is a standardized black box system being used by all car manufacturers. The regulations will make sure that the same type of data is being recorded across the board on all new cars.
There are already black box type recorders on some cars but the lack of regulations allows some manufacturers to collect certain types of information while others collect something else. Regulation is not all bad, it's not all good either but if businesses are going to continue to place a black box in each car they create, there should be a line drawn as to what can and can't be recorded.
Unfortunately for consumers, the type of black box the NHTSA is seeking for all new cars will be turned on and left recording all the time. Only automakers, law enforcement officials and insurance companies will be able to access the data from your black box. However, does that really make you feel any better? Probably not.

This might be Americas wake up call when people start getting raked over the coals for stuff they didn't even do.
What if someone steals that car commits a crime, and that black box says it's YOU!
What part of population control hasn't been picked up on yet.
This is your freedom , your privacy, and your all willing to accept this bull shit!
WTH is wrong with Americans today , falling for Obama's DHS b.s. keeping us safe, it's to protect us .....................Most of you really, really can't see the control getting stronger because the facts hurt and nobody wants to admit it, and or face it.
Liberal Americans don't want to admit to themselves this is happening, they will deny, deny until the day comes they are accused of one of many things that even so called conspiracy theorist claim are true, well when it happens to one they will have a fast change of heart then I can bet on it.
And you already have microchips in military ID, and passports already have them, they are planning on Americans having them in their drivers license starting next year. SO yeah I guess that's pretty fake bull shyt isn't it.
