UK and EU Plans to Track Vehicular Activity Via Microchip Technology

The proposed Electronic Vehicle Identification (EVI) system would require the installation of read-only microchips in all new vehicles whose purpose is to provide information on vehicular operation, including location and related activity such as speeding infractions, car theft, and parking violations.
