Many cars now record max rpm /speed at certain vehicle mileage on either cont basis or perhaps prev 60 secs , supposedly to enhance crash data/air bag performance in the real world. Some law enforcement agencies are getting wise to this and starting to supoena " black box" info against manufacturers wishes.
Here in Bay Area , if you use those auto toll transponders ( the ones you velcro to windshield) on the bridges , they are now tracking your movement throughout the area by sensors on all the freeways , supposedly to get better real time freeway speeds and to analyze traffic patterns. They aren't tracking individual serial numbers , but I can imagine a secretive federal law enforcement agency " hacking" it and following someone's every movement. OTOH, if you keep your cell phone on or car has Tele-Aid /On-Star , it's already being done.
Big Brother knows where you've been, are and going !
