National Transportation Safety Board investigators concluded the 86-year-old driver had stepped on the gas instead of the brake and plowed into a farmers market in Santa Monica, California, on July 16, 2003.

How the hell is a little black box going to stop this from happening. Oh yea it will be able to tell you what happened, well what happened there is a lady pressed the wrong pedal, but I am sure it had nothing to do with the fact that she is 86.

God knows that human beings do not lose eyesight, have slower reaction time, and are generally weaker as we age, and of course no old person every gets confused about little things.

ReTest driver annually after a certain age, it is not discrimination, it is common sense
