From a parents point of view: its MY car, its MY insurance and if the kid wrecks the car due to speed or stupidity, its MY wallet on the line (plus I love my kid and don't want anything to happen to them that I could prevent)

Kids will act like it is a great invasion of privacy, but refer back to above. Monor children should have the illusion of privacy (from their parents) but not the reality.

from an adult point of view: you want to pay for the machine and give me a break on my insurance for having this in the car and driving safely, why not.

From an employers point of view: It is my (the company's) car and like anyother piece of company equipment, i have a right to know that it is being used for the purposes intended and in the manner intended. I would make sure my employees signed an agreement to that effect so they can choose whether or not they want to have access to this piece of equipment.

Do i want the government to mandate this piece of equipment in my car NO. They have no need to have any of this information. Should the government have access to the information if I choose to put it in my car? not without a compelling public safety reason and a court order.
