Given the number of automobiles built since 2015 with automatic logging
of locations, Tom Dart, sheriff of Cook County, wants vehicle owners to
be able to call their manufacturers to get them to relay location
telemetry to the police.

I'm sure for your own good, all telemetry will be shared with police
before your vehicle is involved in a crime. Your FitBit too.

It's time to implant the chip in the brain a la The President's Analyst.

The car I got this summer is a 2014 model, maybe it doesn't have one.
However, my discount chip from my insurance company reports where I've
been via Google so they could still probably find me.

I have a 1998 4Runner that I love and has *none* of the current crop of
"smart" features. The most I've done to upgrade it is have the factory
radio/CD player removed and a high-end sound system installed that can
play music from my iTunes devices. That's it. No OnStar, no GPS location
chips that the government can use to tax me by the mile, nothing that
reports anything back to any kind of corporate or government mother
ship, none of that crap. And in 17 years, it's never had a mechanical
problem that needed fixing other than the motor that runs the radio
antenna up and down.

I’ve been through dozens of those motors over the decades.

Wow! That's also known as bluetooth capability, which every fucking car
radio has now.
