This is different. It is full surveillance everywhere, for every car and everytime. Not just some roads with cameras. Whose pictures (at least in Germany) are supposed not to be saved except for trucks.
- Spooky23 9y agoIt's there now. In the US, I'm sure the FBI and DEA have realtime feeds of phone movements for thousands or millions of phones. They had pervasive LPR surveillance a decade ago.
- ams6110 9y agoPerhaps. But you can put your phone on airplane mode or turn it off or just leave it at home if you don't want it to be tracked.
- mschuster91 9y agoYou really believe a phone is truly switched off? Unless the main processor kills the baseband power by GPIO, it is not - and baseband processors are a fairly easy exploit target, much more so for a state-level threat.
- edejong 9y agoI can leave it at home or buy a phone that has hardware validation processes to ascertain its correctness when turned off (or the transmitter system is disabled). I could put the phone in a Farraday cage or selectively raise the noise level of certain broadcast ranges within a limited range. I could kill the radio-IC and use a wifi mesh network. All of these measures are not prevented by federal law. Federally mandating trackers in a car is a completely different story. It will be illegal to remove these trackers, so a basic liberty will be taken away.

- Spooky23 9y agoThe car transmits 10 times a second to assist other vehicles, signals or traffic management systems. The notion that big brother is going to track you in tenth if a second increments is not a thing.
