One more reason why my nine year old car is well taken care of and sitting in the garage looking like new.

Doesn’t General Motors market this system as Onstar?

The railroads have thrown hundreds of $ millions at a similar project. It doesn’t work.

Your Social Security Number won’t be used for identification.

Failure to wear a seatbelt will never be a primary offense.

Geez, if they could sync this with posted speed limits, they could just mail (email) you the fines or shut your vehicle down until they are paid.

Maybe they could put speed controls on your car and you’d never speed again.

tbh I’m not against this. It would be very difficult for a criminal to use this to know if you’re not home. I’m not sure that the protocols even allow for knowing the specific vehicle. This is about reducing crashes and improving traffic efficiency.

If you like sitting at red lights when nobody is coming on the green light then fine but I personally would rather have those days (accumulative minutes) of my life back.

OnStar is not so different in terms of being able to track you.

I will be keeping my 2006 Ford 150 4x4 longer than I expected.

Also I might ride more on my 1981 CB900C more which is not a bad thing.

“Here we go again. Get your V2V-free vehicle now. “

Yeah, the new car market will tank, and the used car market will surge. Buy up a bunch of used cars if this turkey gets to see the light of day. OTOH it may be like the seatbelt interlock cars of 1974, which were gone immediately.
