The government is not the body behind this. It is the insurance companies and automakers. I doubt anyone in the FBI or CIA gives two shits as to if you were doing 30 mph or 50 mph when an SUV hits the back end of a Buick.

But was it used by the government in court or by an insurance company or automaker that was protecting themselves against someone who did not exercise personal responsibility behind the wheel of a car? If people want to get up in arms over this and make sure that people are informed that these exist in a vehicle before they purchase it, they should contact their representatives to have some sort of disclosure statement enacted. Posting your views to most state reps these days is no more trouble than posting about it here and it will carry far more weight.
