Old news combined with usual internet urban legend and fear mongering.
Likely based in the already well underway effort to add data recorders
to all new cars, and use the data from them for accident analysis. Some
people don't like that, so there were discussions about if a warrant
would be required to get the data. For cars with onstar or similar
systems, the car already phones for help when certain things happen. I
don't think there is enough headroom in cell system for all cars to
report position constantly, even on a burst message basis. And a lot of
country isn't covered by cell towers.
More likely would be the stuff that counts your mileage and then phones
home because gas taxes based on gallons isn't paying enough.
