GPS probably. Could tell you were on interstae etc. I hope not. Too much Big Brother already.How would it know if you were using it for a track event......... etc
Maybe someday soon non-ethanol fuel will be history also. What to do with all the old cars then?....Convert them?? Hard to believe your own car would rat on you. No thanks.
OBD-3 can bite me. i will just ride my turbocharged motorcyle around guzzlin leaded race gas and give the finger to the nazis while i am at it. motorcycles don't have any form of OBD whatsoever.......
Before we get too far with individual privacy rights, remember that driving on public roads is not a right; it's a privilege granted by the government

That is such a load of $hit forced down your throats by the government. It is us the taxpayers that are paying for those roads, or did you forget that little detail? Or perhaps you forgot that the constitution grants you the right to freedom of travel, and driving by car is the main means of such in the U.S.? Keep on believing the crap your fed by the government, that's the way they like it. Then when they collect your gun and tell you that having a gun is a privilege not a right notwithstanding the fundamental right to defend yourself, you'll think it's A-OK!

This is currently under serious consideration in England.
When I was in London last month, it was being debated heavily on the news.
They are considering both charging drivers based on how much they drive, and also giving speeding tickets automatically. The gps device knows the speed limit of the stretch of road you are on, and monitors your speed accordingly.
Already, they have speed cameras on the highways that take pictures of your license plates and then give you tickets based on average speed between cameras.

I think the paranoia is getting too far here. We have too many lawyers in this country that would successfully challenge the extreme restrictions some of you are envisioning. The leap in logic in comparing what I mentioned to the Soviet system is a little far. There's a lot of killjoy ideas here I hope don't come to fruition; there's too much emphasis on speeding whereas the powers that be can be looking at driving under the influence, red light/stop sign running, yakking on the phone, excessive or reckless speeding, road rage, etc. Some of these people think they have a right to drive as they please. Paying taxes doesn't give rights to do this. I doubt the government will get too carried aways with restricting personal travel because it's such an ingrained part of our economy.

Just remember we will always have "people" that wil offer "kits" that defeat anything out there.... there already is a company that can shut off EDR.

Gps can both track your position and your speed as long as you are moving from one point to another. Boaters have been using GPS for chart plotting for 20 years.
Uhhh... how about the data recorder that was 1) used by OEMs to gather info for safer airbags and then 2) used by law enforcement for traffic accident diagnosis.
