Sure does seem like that the world in which "you will own nothing, and you will be happy" is approaching rapidly. It's not sufficient that your emails are being read and your cell phone is being tracked; now your own car will spy on you to make sure you're not behaving in the wrong manner ("other purposes").

I'm not surprised that the government is voting for government to have more power, but hopefully there will be some checks and balances against this kind of thing.
