Kinda like how the “cash for clunkers” was to remove vehicles from the highways that didn’t have built in gps tracking (every car made since OnStar was a thing spies on you and can be located almost instantly via GPS and/or triangulation).
GPS/Navogation was not standard when Cash for Clunkers was active. GPS in that era was not part of a 2-way system, either. I have a car from later than that, fully loaded. The map comes from an SD card, it does not have any resident cell capability, and all built-in outbound communication functions are sent through a connected phone.
As that commenter came back and commented, it was pulled from their ass.
Huh. Is that spy thing onstar or part of GPS that you need to have in your car’s computer bullshit because I don’t doubt mine has the tracker, I just don’t have onstar we cheap
I believe they ditched that brand name years ago, but to my understanding the technology became more or less mandatory, if I recall. So your car must be able to phone home and tattle on you

Wait what? I thought it was to mitigate pollution. Holy CRAP. Any source on this…?

My source is the depths of my ass where I pulled it from. But I think I’m right…
Lol can’t believe somebody would do this. Just get on the Internet and tell lies. :(
