Screw the "assertion". *The real issue is, what else will that AEB

Recorder (EDR) that will be recording yer driving history, like how
fast you were going when you hit the brakes, etc. *And who do you
think is behind this? *The insurance companies, so they can use yer
own car's event data against you should you be in an accident in which
they might have to settle. *In short, yer own car will be ratting you
out to the insurance companies. *Most new cars already include one or
more EDRs in yer car, specially if you have ABS brakes. *You think
it's not gonna get worse? *This AEB thing is jes another pretense to
get even more sophisticated EDR mechanisms into yer car. *Believe that!

Shhh! I hear the plaintive whine of the irresponsible motorist...
