It has been discussed for many years, but it seems that it is becoming a reality.
BMW develops a prototype system that allows communication between a car and a satellite.

The car is "online" and can download songs, streaming radio, updates for the navigation system, weather reports and generally any type of digitally transfered data.

What worries me the most is that after a few years, the satellite will be able to monitor a car's speed and issue speeding tickets real time.

I understand that from a society's perspective, this is for the best, as it reduces road deaths to a minimum. But, I feel like I would be better of without it
