So it’s not all roses for consumers.

And ultimately also the ability for LE to track and/or disable. I don't know that LE tracking of vehicles has been done yet, but if it's possible, then it's only a matter of time. And I believe LE has used onstar to disable stolen vehicles or vehicles used in crimes.
