Maybe the government could put a tracking deice on your vehicle so they know where you have been and how many miles you have driven?
Oh wait, you already carry one of those around. They're called cell phones.
It's not even just the cell phone. Our new Equinox has tons of bells and whistles.. One of which is OnStar. It can be tracked via that. In fact, I have an app on my phone that will tell me exactly where the car is sitting right now... It tells me how many miles are on the car, what % of Oil I've used and fuel level.
Hell it even tells me the tire pressure in each tire. All on the App.
