- wyager 11y agoCar tracking systems should use vehicle power so they last as long as the car does without charging or maintenance.
- Retric 11y agoThat gets into cost vs benefit. Arguably, these things are best as part of the standard package from the manufacturer, but being able to remotely track everyone is going to throw up lot's of red flags for people. Also, it's easy to drive a car into a truck with a Faraday cage making these things almost useless if they did become common.

- seanp2k2 11y agoGeek utopia version: tech-savvy crims install a hidden faraday cage into the back of a nondescript vehicle transportation semi trailer. After observing the target for days, they cease the perfect opportunity to house the car onto 4 wheel dollies, load it into the trailer, and drive off with their ill-gotten booty, laughing maniacally. The poor owner is none the wiser until coming out from a fancy dinner with his trophy wife to find his treasured luxury vehicle missing. Real life: dude in a hoodie presses a fake gun into the back of the owner, instructs him to not turn around or call the cops, takes his phone, wallet, and keys, drives off in car with real key. Has a buyer lined up already. Drives car to location and it's promptly put inside a shipping container, which blocks the cell / gps signals by virtue of being made out of steel.
