you guys are surprised. there has been fleet testing with this type of stuff for years. no need to go for an inspection as the car will pass/fail itself.

No, not really. This technology has been around for a long time. It was just dependent on when it was going to be implemented.

The main difference is going to be the transmitting of that info. That's were OBD-III will be different, if what all that is talked about is implemented.
Transition is going to be a booger for awhile though.
It's a brave new world happening (atleast it better be).

OBD 3 has been in trials and testing since 1998.
It's first mandate was to quicken the response of OBD2 in regards to emissions compliance. Instead of a warning light and allowing somebody to continue driving regardless if it meant nothing or severe damage was occurring, OBD3 would actually consider what the issue was and determine whether the car could continue as is, limp mode or physically shut-down.
Technically nothing new there, many OTR trucks have a similar program and many new cars now have it. But it was new in 1998...
The other main component was in law enforcement. During a high speed chase the car could be disabled before the car could reach potential harm.
Again... nothing new there with On_Star and Lo-Jack using similar tactics... but guess where they got it from?
OBD3 would just federally mandate all those options be factory installed and many, many more things to keep an eye on you, including how fast you were traveling (many OEM computers already have this), where you've been, etc.
So a black box for accidents sounds like a good idea for me.

Just another example of government overeach around. This "Global Warming, no wait, the ice isn't receding, let's call it climate change instead", is another ploy to take our rights. I'll end the political commentary at that.
