New Proposal Would Require Camera In Every Car
I blogged recently about a move to require equipment in cars that would disable cell phone use. Now the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is calling for all new cars to be built with backup cameras. The auto industry hasn't come forward with a stance on the suggestion yet, but many think they won't support it as it could be very expensive to equip every car with this technology.
Here's the story from Bloomberg.com.
About SRTC
SRTC is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Spokane County. Urbanized areas with populations exceeding 50,000 people are required to have an MPO. SRTC was formed to address the county's transportation planning needs. It provides coordination in planning between the public, cities, small towns, the county, the state, transit providers, and tribes.
SRTC offers services including transportation monitoring, transportation modeling, census information analysis, travel demand forecasting, historical traffic count analysis, geographic information systems, and trip generation rates.

Yeah, no self-respecting American would allow this kind of intrusion. It reminds me of the time I applied for a job in Admin at WSP. They wanted to know every time I said a curse word and hooked me up to a polygraph to make sure I wasn't F%$#ing lying. HA HA!!!
Its okay Vanillajane, it's just a BACKUP camera so it's not like someone is watching you through it. The only thing being watched is the car or other items behind you.
