How long before GPS tracking for new cars is mandatory from the .gov? 2030?
Pretty much every new vehicle coming out has some sort of GPS capability.
Just think of all the "safety concerns" the .gov could be keeping an eye on remotely, speeding, seatbelts... etc.
I can see a time where you can't legally drive on a public roadway (get plates) without GPS tracking enabled.
Much like cameras, you have no expectation of privacy in public.
A couple States have been discussing using GPS for a "mileage tax".

I have been w/o a daily driver for several years, and have been looking at "new" vehicles. For the $$$, I am seriously tempted to buy a restored Jeep of some sort. Manual EVERYTHING, and a fraction of the cost. I really have no interest in a majority of the wiz-bang features. Saw an ad on TV hawking a vehicles bluetooth and LED mood lights. I mean, seriously. I want crank windows.Car dealers have been explaining to new buyers that their cars can be shut off remotely, locked, etc.
Now's the time for a new car manufacturer to enter the market with minimal electronics.
60 minutes did a segment showing where a new car could be "taken over" with a laptop and controlled. Someone could literally drive your car off a cliff with you in it.
