I believe, sadly, it's the latter.
They are also required by law (IIRC) to include more and more invasive black boxes in the cars anyway.
So i guess they figure they might as well use the data.
(I'm just waiting till my car says "Tired of stomping on the brake so much? Maybe you should stop commuting and try UberPool!")
- smnrchrds 9y agoI would be OK if the black box is just that: a black box. A data source that can only be accessed via physical connection does not concern me. But 24/7 data transmission to manufacturer's severs is way too 1984 for my taste.
- jlgaddis 9y agoI have mixed opinions about the "black boxes" in vehicles. In theory, it sounds like a good idea but I learned recently that police can quite easily download the data from them (via the OBD port) and apparently it is common for them to do so when investigating accidents -- especially fatal ones. AIUI, they are not required to obtain a warrant in order to grab this data and that is my primary concern.
