A word to the wise:
NOTHING, absolutely nothing that is reported from CNS News is reliable, and that's a FACT....I don't usually discredit sources right off the bat, however with CNS News, I have found every single one of their articles are simply false, in all cases so take it for what it is worth....
Ray La Hood, the transportation secretary IS a Republican.....would he be screwing you? Is he big brother? Or is this unfounded fear just of liberals?
This program, with EDR's was introduced in 2006, under President Bush's reign and the black boxes are in:
And according to the rules:
Now all of the above FACTUAL information about this issue, is not to say this is not a little bit concerning to me....because who knows if the rules will change someday and make it a law that this information is mandatory and not voluntary? But for right now, any information gathered by these black boxes on our vehicles can be gathered ONLY WITH permission from us.

so they are in 96% of all cars and light trucks already....NHTSA estimates that approximately 96 percent of model year 2013 passenger cars and light-duty vehicles are already equipped with EDR capability.
And according to the rules:
http://www.dot.gov/briefing-room/us...nt-data-recorders-help-improve-vehicle-safetyThe new safety regulation proposed today would require EDRs as mandatory equipment in passenger vehicles that weigh less than 8,500 pounds.
The proposal includes the same standardized data collection requirements established by NHTSA in 2006 for EDRs that are voluntarily installed by automakers (49 CFR Part 563) and mandates that automakers provide a commercially available tool for downloading the data.
In keeping with NHTSA’s current policies on EDR data, the information would be treated by NHTSA as the property of the vehicle owner and would not be used or accessed by the agency without owner consent.
