Progressive Insurance Snapshot

  • I hate this but the new vehicles pretty much record everything you do. If you were in an accident in any of these newer autos I'm sure the insurance could pull your data from the ecu. I even think the newer cars that have all these super cool surround view cameras record video in a loop and if the airbags are triggered or other certain triggers are met they lock that video down and it's available to the dealer to download and I'm sure the insurance companies can get to it. Heck I wouldn't doubt that it's not accessible from the on board 4g AT&T cell service.


    What I'm getting at is that it's just a matter of years before we won't be able to hide from big brother. I absolutely hate it for the next generation coming up. Most just don't understand how they will be affected by all these "cool and helpful" gadgets. They will bite everyone in ass when they least expect it.
