The North Dakota legislature has taken the side of individual liberty in passing legislature that gives a car-owner automatic ownership of any data generated by or stored in the black box in that car. This seems like a no-brainer, but with police and insurance companies interested in getting a glimpse of your driving and seatbelt habits, that data was a potential privacy hot-potato, and many drivers weren't even aware when their cars had such monitoring devices. It will be interesting to see whether any other states follow suit. (Any Democrats looking for a basic liberty cause with Red State appeal?)
