I heard about 5 years ago that automakers were planning to equip new cars with Black Boxes which record various things such as seatbelt usage, speed & shifting (in manual transmissions), braking, and gps device, also the capability for police to shut the vehicle off while being driven, also the capability for police to cause your vehicle to vibrate and make a noise that causes you to stop your vehicle. So far Black Boxes which record various things such as seatbelt usage, speed & shifting (in manual transmissions), braking, and a gps device, and the capability for automaker companies to Unlock, start and shut off the auto or communicate with you in an emergency (On Star) are the only things i know have been added to some vehicles, also auto dealers can disable your vehicle so it cannot start in the event of late or over due payments thru the auto's computer system using a code. My sister had over due payments and this happened to her, and her husband went in and made the payments and the dealer gave my sister a code to punch into the car to allow it to start.
Its very interesting and thanks for the links you've provided i will be sure to check them out, didnt know about the cell phone extracting device but sure doesnt surprise me :seeya:
