Sounds like a reason not to buy a 2015 Honda.

Note that Honda (and most other manufacturers) were inevitably going to put event data recorders in cars anyways. They are too cheap and they make too much sense not to have.

So without the federal rules, what you'd have is market full of cars with event data recorders and no rules regarding data ownership or requirements to disclose (this bill requires full disclosure about the devices and their purpose).

But BGR doesn't want to tell you that, because their purpose here isn't to inform, it's to generate rageviews.
