These "fleet management tools" have been around for 10-15 years already, but have been cost-prohibitive until recently. Same with GPS units that people use on camping trips.
Ah yes, the yin and yang of technology... If I had a fleet of company vehicles to manage, I'd probably install the units... would I put one on my own car to track my kid? That would be a resounding NO that you just heard. I mean hell no! If your relationship with your teen is based on lies and deception then why enforce it with more lies and deception? Deal with the issues at hand instead of compounding them. Shit, get rid of your cars, get a bicycle and get some damn exercise. Gas is too expensive, the air is too dirty and people are too fat and lazy.
And now Im done with my morning rant, I have to go for a walk.
