Very Interesting. Seems this is pointed towards the technology in cars, but could one day effect us all. Independent mechanics in jeopardy?

I will never buy a GM product because I've known far too much about how GM does business. Not the dealers, the company.
What's ahead is the confluence of technology, taxation, and data based control. Expect a car that drives itself, that costs you by the mile, and will require dealer maintenance. It would not be surprising if the maintenance were obligatory by law. |

Expect a car that drives itself, that costs you by the mile, and will require dealer maintenance. It would not be surprising if the maintenance were obligatory by law. If you recall a few years back there was a movement afoot to install GPS trackers in all cars for two reasons: 1) national security, but of course (sure they are listening now...), and 2) to be read at gas stations and charged road tax for each mile driven in each state, i.e. fill up in MD drive to NY City and fill up, pay road tax for MD, DE, NJ, and NY. |
