One billion people get in and out of a car every single day. They go to work, they go home, they shop, they play, they do a billion different things. Knowing where they're going and what they're doing can be very valuable. And then it can be sold to anyone.

It will be a sad day if and when real innovation loses to the sale of personal information for the purpose of surveillance and advertising.

It was a sad decade. Seems like smartphones accomplished this and more for a signifigantly lower price.
