Give them time... I think there's a program to start taxing mileage in addition to fuel consumption.
Both the insurance and government want your money.
I suspect a lot of companies want to resell your driving habits as well. |

| I would suspect California (ugh) if any.
Of course, this will just push for privacy lawsuits.
On the good side - traffic may actually decrease in Calfornia, as many illegal/uninsured/ vehicles may now be off the road.

That would be OREGON. I think it's a virus in the capital building, they clean and they clean and still this stupid suggestion keeps coming back every year or so.
Never going to happen.
