An anarcho-capitalist friend of mine envisioned a similiar system installed in all vehicles as a way for assessing tolls on the privately-owned roads in Anarchocapistan.
Seriously, mileage-based road user fees would be a better and more fair means of taxation to maintain the highways if they could do it without violating the privacy of drivers or using the technology as a way for the government to monitor the movements of drivers.
