[General] vehicle black boxes

[Justin Richards]

Agreed, pretty much every new car has one, and it will likely be mandated
(if it isnt already) for every new car built and sold.

It is not wirelessly connected (unless you have an OnStar like service),
it's not recording your conversations, your weight, your phone records, or
what your cat thinks of the dog.

It is not interfering with the use of your vehicle, and removing or
disabling it might put your vehicle into 'limp-in' mode and turn on the CEL.
