Part of me does not like the invasion of privacy (next thing you know, when a cop pulls you over, he will be hooking his laptop to your vehicle to determine your speed). The other part of me likes the idea for the reasons mentioned in the article. If somebody hits me or my wife and we end up in court, that evidence would be good to have.[/quote]
CYOA
I wonder how much we are paying for this technology?
I'd like to have some telemetry to send to KIA to show them what a piece of junk their cars are in an accident. Wife was hit in hers, left front head-on at probably 70mph combined speed. Veered off and came to rest/pushed a boulder (probably 1000lb+) a foot or so with the front bumper. Only the driver side airbag (not the one in the steering wheel) deployed. The car was totalled. She talked with a rep about it and just got back a rehearsed response followed by a mailer informing us that the airbags are designed to not go off in all circumstances. Trooper, tow truck driver , and insurance adjusters all commented on the airbags not going off.
