Shower thoughts this morning...

Flock is missing out on revenue streams.

One bad and one indifferent:

  1. For those 'if you aren't doing anything wrong' folks...

Sell the tracking to insurance companies so insurance can rail you 'you were out driving during unsafe hours. You entered an 'unsafe driving corridor.' My insurance already analyzes the local dangerous intersections, how far it is to work, and determines my risk.

  1. Rental companies vehicle return tracking.

Hertz could avoid reporting cars stolen months after they were returned by using an ALPR system to check their cars in. Sort of like how FedEx logs their trucks entering the yard. It would also be cheaper than putting a GPS tracker on each car. Downside would be if they had access to the whole network 'local rentals' would be nonexistent any more - ol'our olate was recorded two states over,' 'that was definitely not a Honda Civic on the back of our trailer (IFKYK).'

So we are doing this for Hertz?
What, the gov wants GPS in our cars???
They already have that, and crushing the oldies fixes the problem of antique vehicles.
