Given this, I think the time for focusing on the privacy implications of payment transponders and fare cars is over. Not carrying a cell phone will not help you avoid tracking when your environment is saturated with cameras. Digital cash toll collection systems will not avoid records being kept of your car's movements when cameras are reading and recording license plates anyway. Unfortunately, I don't see anything technological that people can reasonably do here to provide more privacy, at least short of everyone going everywhere on foot while wearing a burqa and periodically attempting to confuse the cameras. The solutions, if any exist at all, appear to be non-technical.
Isn't this essentially what David Brin has been saying for several years now? [1] [2]
