It continuously transmits a unique ID. You've probably seen large panel antennas mounted on highways, these are frequently there to read this ID and use it for volume/transit time stats.

Who cares? Your car has, and is required by law to have, a unique identifier that is clearly visible from 100 meters away.

  I don't particularly care but this thread started as a discussion of how to eliminate as many radiated identifiers as possible.

    I understand, but people who want that property in a car need to be restrained preemptively.

      I think we can agree that line of sight to a specific small area is a rather important requirement. Why be nonchalant about privacy?

  And yet.. they still leave you with the ability to completely remove it from the vehicle in under 5 minutes and then drive on the roads anyways. The idea that I have to allow myself to be compromised or ignore that compromise because there's some other _partially_ equivalent identifier is not justified.
