I see something similar to this in the testing done for self driving cars. There's a lot of cars driving around that have a lot of sensors, sometimes on my 15 minute drive I see 5 or more. I'm sure that these cars are tracking information about the cars they drive past and have enough resolution to uniquely identify drivers. The fact they all share information with each and can aggregate that into a cohesive picture feels like an extreme invasion of privacy, even though I'm theoretically driving around in the public domain. Now, I still use Google maps to navigate around, so they know my location anyways, but I guess my fear is that more and more, even if you were able to totally 'disconnect', there's still no way to keep yourself private. This has probably always strictly been the case, my movements could always theoretically be tracked, but the capabilities are just becoming more and more clear to me.
It really feels to me like the line between public and private needs to be re-evaluated, and even though life will go on anyways, the future worries me quite a bit.
