Although slightly over the top, you do bring up a good point about privacy. This would be the most ubiquitous form of surveillance...ever. Look around you, do you see a car? It sees you too.
It is the fault of the car that CAUSES the accident. The fact that an older car was involved is irrelevant as this is just another variable in the driving environment that the driver of the newer car seemingly failed to account for. The build date of the car should not imply fault unless you want to repurchase your vehicle on a yearly basis to avoid being liable. Doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun to me and probably isn't sustainable.
Might be a generalization. Given the option, some drivers may steer themselves towards danger to avoid endangering others on the road. I for one though would not want this decision to be handed to a computer as I believe it is mine to make. This transcends morality and begins to touch on a human rights issue. IMO
It will certainly make clear the intentions of those that vote against it. Even if this doesn't pass, it'll be a clearly identifiable mark of shame on those opposed. If all else fails, let's hope that's motivation enough.

Go ahead and try that logic and let us know what happens. It's been tried before and is often first looked at as insurance fraud.
