One unresolved question concerns how long car manufacturers should hang
onto user information before purging it from their logs. The longer they
retain the data, the more useful it becomes. But it also opens up greater
opportunities for abuse by lawyers, marketers and law enforcement. (As
written, the privacy principles require that car makers get drivers'
explicit consent before using or sharing data for marketing purposes, but
each manufacturer can interpret this commitment freely.)

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
