The article didn't mention any grandfather clause and leaves me to assume a great many questions. Like...
Are they only requiring this on newly manufactured cars?
Are they going to require this on any and all cars now on the road?
Are they going to subsidize the installation of all the necessary electronics and sensors required to make the EDR work as intended?
Are they going to just kick older vehicles off the road for not having it?
Will LEOs be given equipment to plug into a speeding motorists car to prove how fast they were travelling during their trip?
The noblest of intentions don't always pan out in practical applications.
Just more lawmaker stupidity if you ask me.

Also overlooked in CA is the Fast-Pass which is currently monitored "only" strictly for traffic flow pattern analysis along all freeways. Users are given a mylar envelope to place the pass in if they don't wish to be monitored other than in a toll lane or at a toll bridge. How long will that last in a "police state"?
