The technologies we rely on, both new and old, are now very effective tools that both governments and private firms are using to gather, analyze, store, and sell information about our private lives, habits, purchases, whereabouts, and even thoughts and beliefs. But some of this invasion of privacy pays a welcome dividend in convenience and power in our own lives. Where do we draw the line, and how can we use this potentially-invasive technology for our benefit, without sacrificing our private lives to commerce?

This all, of course, presumes you have a car that contains a tracking device. Another reason for keeping that old car!
If the tracking device is associated with the body, the concept makes more sense. Does this person engage in risky behaviours? Go to dangerous places, travel fast at low altitude regardless of what seat in the car he/she is in, go past dangerous places, or consort with other known felons...oops...gone too far maybe...
