This sounds really intrusive to me. Yeah, I know the government can track you via your cellphone and all that and if they really want to find you, they will, but, having everyone's car literally tracked, the amount of miles driven, just sounds really intrusive.
I mean so it's a bright and sunny Saturday and you decide to go and take a nice drive through the countryside. Now this represents freedom and liberty. The government isn't pestering you right then. But add in the idea that the moment you start the car up and begin driving, that the government is now monitoring your driving, measuring the distance you are driving, I mean jeez.
I hope this doesn't happen, and if it does, I think it will end up in the courts (I would hope!).
