Some legislators want to charge road taxes by the mile.


They never saw a dollar (of yours) they didn't like.

If only they had a way to tax based on the wear you put
on the roads.  Drive more, pay more tax.  Drive a heavier
vehicle, pay more tax.  Drive faster, pay more tax.  Oh wait,
they already _have_ exactly that!  The fuel tax is a pretty
good first-order approximation of all of this.  Dumbasses.

What they really want is the real time tracking/monitoring of all 
registered vehicles in the state that would be necessary to make the 
mileage tax work.


Yes, they want to be able to know _everything_, and abuse it at
their leisure.  Or else they're stupid, and don't know that
they already have what they say they want.  Or both...

2013-11-19 Thread Gerry Archer
The Senate passed a bill, MAP21, Wednesday that requires all new cars to be 
equipped with data recording devices starting in 2015.


Lots of cars already have these so-called event data recorders. Forbes' 
Kashmir Hill says: They've been around since 1996, are found in at least 60 
million vehicles, and are a feature in 85% of new cars every year. Some 
insurance companies, like State Farm and Progressive, offer customers a 
reduced rate if they install the recorders. But MAP-21 is the first attempt 
to make the technology mandatory.


The bill specifies that only the owner of the vehicle would have access to 
the information collected, unless 1) the owner consents otherwise; 2) a 
court authorizes another party to view the data; 3) certain specified types 
of investigations require the information; or 4) a medical team needs the 
information to give proper treatment.
Venture Beat's Sarah Mitroff argues that since so many cars already have 
this little black box, the bill is not a big deal-and actually be a good 
thing for drivers. She writes, Despite privacy concerns over the bill, it 
may end up reducing privacy problems in the long run. It explicitly states 
that the owner of the car owns the EDR data, an issue that has been debated 
in the past.
