    I think cunts who drive like cunts should pay more.
    However, the real reason why cars have black boxes is repeated fraudulent claims by US law firms on “sudden acceleration”.

    The last lawsuit ended because Toyota had black box data proving US drivers are shit and commonly hit the wrong pedal. Before that, they had to settle $1B to law firms.

      Oh, I agree with that. People who drive like complete assholes should definitely have to pay higher insurance premiums, but the way that they get the data to determine who these people are is just a huge privacy concern for me.
