(CNSNews.com) - Before the end of this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will decide whether or not to begin the rulemaking process to mandate that newly manufactured cars include what is being called “vehicle-to-vehicle†(V2V) communications technology that constantly broadcasts via radio wave the car’s location, direction, speed and, possibly, even the number of passengers it is carrying.
“NHTSA expects to make a decision on V2V technology by the end of the year,†a spokesman for the agency told CNSNews.com.

Ah todays fearmongering and hysteria by CNS..
"The upside of a government-mandated movement toward cars that are not controlled by the people riding in them "
Totally unrelated, hysterical conspiracy theory. This has been a recent CNS agenda and they do like the AP, keep their agenda list handy to copy and paste it into other stories to attempt to manufacture relevancy.
Sad. Unprofessional
"Govt controlling cars" is not related to vehicle TO VEHICLE comms. # of occupants is not material to V2V comms.
And I know comms...
This is all hysteria manufactured by writers with ZERO technical knowledge of what they write.
I'm happy with my '89 Bronco, thank you!(http://members.socket.net/~mcruzan/images/Bronco%20002.jpg)

If you like your car you can keep it, period!
Some restrictions apply, only available in some states, offer only valid for well qualified customers, see your local IRS agent for details.
I wonder what the penalties are for disabling the device?they will engineer it so the car won't run if it is disabled.

If you like your car you can keep it, period!That ain't funny....it's to close to the truth. The government will require you to install one on your older cars/trucks.

What we need is a 10 million crazy gun owners surprise march on Washington D.C......with 'moving' target practice to start at the city limits.
They tap our phones, our computers and now our cars. They want to know where you are and what you're doing every minute of the day....They know they've pushed people just about to their limits.
Like Rush says the best comedy is based on the truth.I didn't have a cell phone until last spring....in my case it was forced upon me and paid for by a much higher power than Obama and the federal government.....the wife.
The reality is, they don't need to put a black box in your car, they have everything they need to track you either in your pocket or latched onto your belt. This device has gps, a microphone, and internet access. Unless you pull the battery out you can not turn it off, it may appear to be off but it can be accessed by anyone with the knowledge to do so. We have invited big brother into our lives and are so accustomed to it we dare not travel without it. Orwell predicted the tee vee as the monitoring device, but the cell phone came along and made big brother's job much easier.
