My interest is in Event Data Recorders in cars and how they (and other proprietary software) will affect the privacy of drivers and the safety of vehicles.
I was extremely impressed by the FSF's identifying cars as an area of concern in the Holiday Gift Buying Guide, as few in our community are paying attention to vehicles yet.
