This seems like a major privacy invasion. How is it any different than tracking your walking activity through the GPS on your phone, and taxing you for walking in public in the name of paying for sidewalk construction and pedestrian bridges? It's absurd. The long term unintended consequences of government collecting this data is extremely dangerous.

This is insane. A vast amount of date from this will be collected on you. I would rather them just use the on board odometer for tracking mileage. I would never let this into my car. In addition to this it is not difficult to jam an GPS. A solid piece of metal would easily defeat a GPS tracker. There are several other ways to defeat them that are legal. I hope this doesn't come become a law.

I can quickly see Law Enforcement getting hands on this data to calculate driving speed and locations to issue citations such as speeding, parking time violations, trespassing, etc......Nothing good will come of this.

Just think of the revenue they could generate from speeding tickets. This is way to dangerous.
