your cell phone can be used to track your movements so i assume it would be rather elentmary to require odometers transmit mileage as it happens to a central processing and billing agency.

A lot of the folks already have this happening with their insurance company to get a “discount”. It’s a module that plugs into the OBD port on your car and transmits via wireless.

That would require retrofitting new odometers on older vehicles. Yet another hidden tax.

I’m sure Detroit will comply. The question is what to do with all of those older vehicles. One of mine is a 74 with no electronics associated with the drive train.

If you think it will be easy look how long some of the states have taken just to meet the Real ID requirements for drivers licenses.

How will they track the mileage of the Amish?

Cellphone tracking can be made useless, once you wrap it in my new “anti-tracking case!” Oh, that’ll be made against the law now, too? Like the license plate imaging defeating gizmos?
