> So you're going to be perfectly OK with people monitoring your vehicle 24/7 for how much you actually use the public roads, right? Because that won't be abused either. And that, by the way, is a perennial suggestion that got floated again recently.

Well, I'm not sure that that's got anything to do with this particular issue, but since you asked... I think payment of road tax according to road usage is eminently sensible, and much fairer than a flat tax applied to people irrespective of whether they drive 5k or 50k miles per year. So yes, I'd be fine with GPS monitoring of my road usage, if the end was sensible and it wasn't abused by the governmental apparatus that would (probably) implement it.

> How about setting aside whether this is useful and consider that maybe it's blatantly anti-labor?

Is it, fundamentally? Is it any worse than making people clock in or out of a workplace, or setting performance goals? I don't know - I'd be interested to hear your argument.

> They can already monitor who's wearing a seatbelt or not with vehicle telemetry.

Sure... but not tiredness, or inattention, or other risky behaviours like eating or texting at the wheel.

> Adding this on top of their existing monitoring apparatus is sociopathic.

What are you referring to, here?
