These enhanced features are alarming. I hope they are liquidated when they go bankrupt. Good riddance to them. i would buy a used KIA before another GM car I stopped buying General Motors cars when they started that “lights on all the time” nonsense.

If the govt wants to protect us with our consent find so be it. If auto industry wants to give us safety options that great. The only thing that really gets me upset is that when the govt trys to control us or when auto industry like GM trys to regulate our driving. That so not right. The govt really needs to cut the crap with the "its for safety excuse" because thats BS. There intention behind it is basically control. As for GM they really need to trust the public more because there are responsible people out there. Not everbody drives crazy. The govt should offer us safety options and suggestions but they should not have the right what so ever to control us.

Wonder what the statistic's for Onstar reporting minor accidents & subsequent DUI arrest of driver. I'd be pissed if my own car got me busted.

It's understandable that what ever the cause of a incident it would be your central focus and generate a passionate call to do something to rectifying it. It is however, under those circumstances, not the appropriate time run out and pass new laws or call for more enforcement. Cooler heads should prevail. This is exactly what MADD and similar organizations have done to get such draconian DUI BAC's and enforcement tactics passed into laws. They use psychology on politicians. It's hard for any politician to reject a bill for a new law when their emotions get stirred up. MADD drags someone who has gotten badly hurt or someone's parents that had a kid die because of a alcohol related accident. Any story, the more dramatic the better. Common sense dictates that you try not to make important decisions in that environment. Unfortunately it's not illegal for MADD or any other organization to do this. I just wish our founding fathers would not have written, in some cases, such ambiguous documents. Powerful attorneys and activist judges tend to interpret them the way the see fit. It's probably a good thing the Constitution was written that far back otherwise under the current mood of our society our nanny state would be far worse.

It sounds like you just don't trust the human being to be responsible and run his or her own life anymore without help and control from the govt. and thats sad. You and me really don't belong in the same place. and 2 things; no I won't be voting for any socialist like Hillary or Obama. and in reading some of these other comments it is clear that my feelings on the subject are in the majority. Goodbye forever freak. I don’t think people are going 140 mph, in fact I’ve never seen anyone go much over 80-85mph in my entire life.

When someone close to you is killed by some asshole careening down the highway at twice the speed limit, then manages to leave the scene of the accident and is never caught, your attitude will change. Go vote for Hillary. I’m sure that our founding fathers would agree that today’s world is a much different place than it was 250 years ago.

We were not put on this earth to exist as long and as law abiding as possible. It's a good thing that our founding fathers weren't such a bunch of nanny douchebags as G.M. & whoever else is for this or we would not be here! Shame on us for crap like this.
