Large vehicles are fine to use for trips and jobs that require that large vehicle... but clearly gas prices aren't enough to disincentivize a huge chunk of American suburban residents from owning 4runners and F150s.

- acdha 4y agoThe government can already track your movements (you have a nice big identifier on the side even if you don’t have various wireless devices) but congestion pricing doesn’t require identifying people. Anonymous vehicle sensors can tell how congested an area is and they can charge you to enter that zone.
