I have to agree that it is a good idea, but there does need to be legislation to limit how and when it can be used.

1. Such as the information can only be used as evidence if an actual accident occurs, not during a routine traffic stop, and may only be used as evidence by a court order (a.k.a. subpeona or however the hell that word is spelled). Meaning that an insurance company can not just come by check your driving habits randomly.

2. Anyone purchasing a car with the device must be informed that it is there and what it does.

3. Cannot be used to track actual location, just information pertaining to how the car was being driven, not where.

Oh, and just as a reminder to people in the U.S.: Driving is not a right, it is a priviledge, you abuse it and you lose it. As for breaking your 5th amendment right, if police have a search warrant for your house and they find plans for a crime that had been commited earlier that day, they can use that evidence in court, this device is much the same.
