Dear Readers, Virginia libertarian automotive journalist & author Eric Peters wrote this week about “Vehicle to Vehicle” communications  V2V for short -- and what it has in store for Americans as an instrument of tyranny, at the hands of The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
-------- "V2V is the next technological Great Leap Forward  the critical element necessary to erect a nationwide grid of completely self-driving, autonomous cars. V2V 2And also broadcasting and recording cars. V2V-enabled cars could transmit and record every detail about your trip, such as how fast you’re driving at all times (not just a “snapshot”) as well as how rapidly you accelerate and how rapidly you brake, your direction  and whether you’re in motion or stationary  to a central database. Or to whomever happens to be listening in. The potential for abuse is staggering; the diminution of our already almost nonexistent private space a certainty." -------- The full article is here: http://ericpetersautos.com/2014/01/07/car-doesnt-talk/ Take a few minutes to check out Eric's writing. -- Marc Montoni, Secretary Libertarian Party of Virginia P.S.
