So, 'safety' or 'security' is the new buzzword for 'we wanna know exactly where you are and what you're doing, 24/7.' What a shocker. Wonder how long until your car 'randomly' prevents you from driving over the speed limit or going to 'unapproved' locations.

It's probably more for things like crash reconstruction data or perhaps even insurance liability. Not necessarily active 'stopping you from going places' monitoring, at least not initially. Though the data collected could easily be repurposed.

Yeah, 'initially.' That's always how it starts. Remember when GPS was just for navigation? Now it's baked into everything and tracks your every move. The 'repurposed' part is what everyone's worried about, not just the initial intention. This is just another layer of control.
