>Video isn't required because even these black boxes, AFAIK, are STILL not required in the US. They also introduce unacceptable privacy compromises for Americans, seeing as how most people subconsciously treat their car as an extension of their living room. …that is my point. For the most dangerous activity people in the country do, we avoid laws that would help ascribe blame because everyone wants to be able to break the rules. A pilot gets recorded, regardless of their privacy, because they are responsible for other people’s lives. Why not drivers? They certainly cause damage to other people. And at a rate far higher than a person doing ANY other activity. It’s not about privacy, it is about wanting to avoid accountability.
