Yes, it'a a big difference. Rental car companies put them in their own cars, the renters are informed, you have a choice of renting or not, or from that company or someone else.

But there is a big difference when the GOVERNMENT does it and it's mandatory for everyone. That is not a safety issue, that is invasion of privacy. Note the article says the owners have no say in the use of this data, i.e. the government just takes this information, you don't have any right to object, they don't need your permission. Isn't this also illegal search and seizure?

I agree with you on the Government part. They have no business in my car at all...

But you'd better be sure you don't drive anywhere you didn't say you were going to - or go over the speed limit a second or so for when you turn the car in, you're going to be hit with BIG bill - well, they've probably already docked your credit card -
