2sticks: what are you on? No such system is in current use??
Perhaps you are talking about one of those X box games you've got??? All the Uk has at present, is the well tried and tested Lojac system in police cars and police helos. The helo gives better range, thats all.
No-one 'rings' the feds up and tells them they've got a stolen car on their PC??? No-one uses 'bugs' in the car to listen to the occupants, or slow the car down.
Granted there is the technology to instal these systems and there are test vehicles out there doing this (we do it), but they are a few years off being normally employed, yet due to legal and human rights reasons!
N Union is testing a box which can be fitted to monitor your driving habits (speed/distance etc) which IF ACCEPTED by the public, will be used to predict risk factors and hence premiums of that driver.
The police are quietly using GPS to talk to black boxes fitted to cars to do roughly the same together with engine management control, but this is fraught with health and safety/legal wranglings.
Only the secret service and batman use it every day!!!!
