Far easier for NSA to simply take over Onstar and mandate its inclusion in EVERY vehicle, whether you want it or not.
I agree, and believe that every parent should be required to have Onstar equipped vehicles for the safety of their children. If the car gets stolen while their children are in it, then the car can be tracked. If they accidently lock the car with their infant inside, then Onstar can unlock it for them. There are any number of possibilities where requiring parents to have Onstar equipped vehicles would far outweigh the costs to the parents for having the service.
Personally I am not a fan of Onstar. While I can certainly see the benefits, my privacy is more important to me than having someone track my every move when I am driving. I don't need government or businesses intruding in my private life. How is this data going to be used? For marketing purposes? Let's say I frequent certain types of businesses, am I going to see ads in the mail for similiar businesses? Or will the advertising I hear on the radio or TV be tailored to the types of businesses I frequent?
