There is nothing in the world that won’t be used to increase taxes. Navigating future for road charges. GPS was invented to help navigate, defend and attack. Not as a means to spy on and make money from new taxes.
Powerful applications are expected on the roads; the Galileo network would allow a vehicle’s exact movements to be tracked, presenting new possibilities for road-user charging and tolling.
And it’s not like the government will stop road tax and petrol dutys. After all, they will claim that they must continue, “because not all vehicle’s are currently equipped with the GPS” nanny monitors.
But beyond this as a money making tool, what about the privacy issues.
Can you imagine.
Maybe you should.
