Thanks, great link! Read the doc, found it very interesting. Don't want to sound crass, but the agency's figures are that about 300 lives would be saved (assuming ALL loss of life would be prevented and no more caused due to distractions from the video system) at a cost around $ 2 billion (both number are annual figures). That works out to around $ 6 million per year per life saved. Seems high to me.
How about putting the ignition key on the rear bumper. That way, you'd have to walk to the back of the car to start it and can SEE if there is anything in the way? (Yes, I'm being facetious)
Anyway, my point is that govt keeps trying to protect us from every possible bad thing that can happen in our lives. It just won't happen.
Look at all the stuff that has been done to try and prevent school shootings. I've heard horror stories about kids' lives being ruined for bringing butter knives or other innocuous stuff to school. And yet, just today heard about a kid killing a school principal and himself.
And, as Brad points out, there will still be vehicles on the road without them for years and years and people will probably NOT get these expensive things fixed once they break (out of warranty).
