I thought this group might find this article interesting....

I know some folks who are working on projects for collecting data from =
onboard vehicle computers.  Many new vehicles have built-gps units.  =
This has some interesting privacy issues.  I wonder what most of our =
vehicle manufactures or insurance companies would do to our warranties =
or insurance rates if they were monitoring where we take some of our =
vehicles.  Of course I would consider most of Arizona's back roads far =
safer the Phoneix freeways.
