Big brother to the extreme! Personally I don't like the fact that "OnStar plans on supplying this information to police officers, when requested, as well as insurance companies who are seeking facts about any accident involving an OnStar vehicle" this is something that a warrant should be needed!

It seems like everyone is trying to add more surveillance to their technology, and it is a bit creepy to me. I personally don't want companies knowing every move I make, although I have a feeling that more people know my movements than I know of... I liked having OnStar when we did have it. It was nice when the keys were locked in the car, or we saw something that needed to be reported to emergency services, along with knowing that emergency personnel would be notified if we were in an accident. I honestly feel like it recording accident information including GPS, and if a driver or passengers were wearing a seatbelt is a good idea. I think anything past that would be overkill.
ReplyDeleteI think its great that they have this technology but how its used is going to be important!
