California exploring charging for road use in lieu of gas taxes
- elsewhen 10y agoalthough they mention increasing efficiency as an explanation for lowering gas-tax revenues, i suspect the rise of electric cars is at least partially behind this initiative.
- dv_dt 10y agoI'm cautious simply because all previous attempts at this have involved the addition of a logging GPS device to all vehicles, when really the vehicle mileage should be used as a good-enough measure (with no privacy implications). In particular the privacy language on that page seems to imply it's still the logging approach, only with some token privacy measures.
