Online petition needs 25,000 signatures to get a response from the Obama Administration regarding "Black Box Consumer Protection". I don't think this is going to go very far ...

Rulemaking to establish a new Federal motor vehicle safety standard to mandate the installation of Event Data Recorders (EDR) in light vehicles lacks adequate consumer protection for preventing unauthorized access to the data stored on a vehicle's EDR to protect the security, integrity, and authenticity of the data in order to retain scientific and probative value. Therefore, amend 49 CFR 563: EVENT DATA RECORDERS § 563.13 Connector Lockout Apparatus (CLA). Each manufacturer of a motor vehicle equipped with an EDR shall ensure that a connector lockout apparatus (CLA) for securing access to the data stored in the EDR that are required by this part is attached to the vehicle's diagnostic link connector (DLC) at the point of motor vehicle sale, including leased and rented motor vehicles.
