It's not just "a little dytopian but..." it's dytopian PERIOD. And what's next, and what's after that, is WAY worse. Stop it now.

Next thing you know they'll ask for a license and a seat belt, this is _literally_ 1984

False equivalence. A license and seat belt do not perform survaillence and report to a 3rd party.

Additionally, sarcastic comments are rarely informative, since their primary purpose is to be demeaning. Please provide actual, clear argument next time.

Your phone and your government already do though and last time I checked nobody cared. It's just posturing, we're already way to deep to escape these things

Huh? What is your point? Are you saying we should do nothing at all to fight for our privacy whenever and wherever we can because “smartphones”? Seems like a silly argument to me.

False equivalence. You are not obligated to carry a phone (or a government (?)) in your car at all times.

You are not obligated to drive a car at any time.

No, but I currently have an option to drive one, without being spied on.
