I know some folks who are working on projects for collecting data from =

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.
