The goverment is looking for their money. An article in the paper told about, I think it was the state of Oregon, who is experimenting with taxing the actual miliage put on vehicles instead of a tax on gasoline. This would mean that all states would require vehicle inspections to check the miliage. Oregon wants to do it through the use of GPS tracking devices on automobiles so you can't get away with unplugging your speedometer or whatnot. Right now they are doing a trial of 300 vehicles and claim it might be a few years before this would be everywhere. The politicians are concerned after they have finally gotten their wish with the gas guzzling pickups and SUVs, that the new vehicles are too fuel efficient and therefore they can't collect enough money through taxing gasoline as some of the new vehicles coming out don't use gasoline at all. I don't want my privacy violated through GPS trackers in this way. The goverment needs to find another solution is my opinion.
I've also heard of politicians wanting to be able to limit the speed of your car through GPS, so you could never exceed the speed limit, or even mail you tickets through the reporting of the GPS. Some of the technology is scary that they are thinking of coming out with. I am afraid that now the goverment through their car Czar they want, and the current control over the auto industry the goverment has, we will see lots of changes that won't be for the better.
