Death of Chesapeake Energy CEO

  1. I guess most people heard about his death last week.

    What I found surprising is that the police researched the data on a 'smart box'
    in his car to determine how fast he was going and that he even tapped the brakes 'gently for a brief moment before he hit the wall at 78 mph.

    That is a lot of detail. I know some companies monitor their 18 wheelers and some insurance companies will give you a discount if you plug in a monitoring device to track your driving habits.

    He was driving a 2013 Chevy Tahoe.

    Do all new cars have monitoring devices in them like that, is it specific to Tahoe's or do you think he had a device on there for insurance reasons ?

    I don't like the idea of the govt having that much control over my life. Or big business.

  2. Doesn't anyone know more about cars than I do on this forum ?
