If you are willing to pay $700 up front, plus installation, plus a monthly fee in order to replace a "free" piece of aluminum it's probably a good idea you be tracked to protect the public safety.

Oh, and what car thief isn't going to rip this off as step one rather than drive around with a "Hey I'm stolen" tag on the back?

yep. The article sort of skips over the fact it is voluntary, none of the features are actually in place yet and the whole thing could flop like a landed fish.

I am speaking this as a privacy nut myself. I think something like this is eventually inevitable, but it will be decades from now.

If the government can charge us for something by force as they always do and make it easier on them to do their "jobs", they'll do it. Especially
if they can make even more money by using us mobile advertising units.
Maybe we all have smartphones that are GPS tracked but they currently can't hand out speeding tickets using that method. Having our cars tracked
systematically makes it that much easier to have some agency issued ticket in the mail waiting for us. Very surprising that people are complacent with something
like this when it's clearly overreaching and nothing tinfoil hattery about it.

Quoted right from their website:
Yeah sure they won't share info with anybody, just like Google doesn't.
