Re: TPMS and privacy

Well you can't deny that it's true - the TPMS is broadcasting an identifier unique to your vehicle and that's that.

Whether or not it's being used in a vast conspiracy... yea, probably not!

It's limited range doesn't make it very useful. There really isn't anything you could accomplish by tracking the signal that you couldn't just by using your eyes. It's more useful than trying to track by the unique identifying signal put out by your key fob, since the fob is only used when you get in the car and the TPMS is continuously spewing the identifier.... but still.

Really you gotta be careful about people with eyes. Did you know they can see you when you're driving? My God! People with eyes could totally track your every move on the street.... it's terrifying.
