The way I see it, we will pay $25.00 a month for the research and development of this so called must have, to save your life service.
Then unbeknown to the payee, your habits will be sold to interested commercial parties i.e. much like the junk mail we use to get when we filled out contest or raffle tickets stubs or bought a magazine subscription. Now it�s the Internet with all the unwanted ads.
Next - when they get most the bugs out of OnStar, your Insurance co will charge by the mile, you know so much for say 20,000 mile a year then whatever they can per mile.
Then when they get larger and more intelligent computers our gas tax will reduce (ha ha) and they will charge by the mile for your plates. I heard on the radio last week England is thinking of it at $1.00 - $1.50 per mile. When they do it they will probably charge far less to start and everyone will be thankful. That�s when it will become mandatory.
