'Cars now run on the new oil — your data.'

The next logical step is to simply mandate that we all get an implanted chip at birth which will transmit all data to a central clearinghouse. Then our personal information can be constantly checked and updated by any and all corporate clients, and the government of course.

Think how much simpler it will be when we can just think about what we want to buy, and Amazon will process the order without all that time consuming clicking and searching?

Insurance companies will already have access to your daily average alcohol consumption, how many times you have crossed the center line accidentally, and will anticipate your chances of crashing and adjust your premiums accordingly. Remote disabling of your car (for your own safety) seems within reach as well.

Welcome to the future!
