The future is all about real-time and event driven data, it does not take a year for your ATM transaction to occur it's instantaneous and event driven. I should not post such revelation on this site, its not something most people get, they just cannot unless they understand the technology behind it and have actually worked in such environments, even then some still do not get it.

I do agree that there is total liability in accountability.

Relational Data is a technology it is used in most industries, people steal things from Wallgreens and then are they surprised when the RFID tag shows were they have taken it on a map? Not only the address of the location but that tag also is associated with an inventory list.

There is open source software that allows anyone with the ability to set up a data table and manage it. Once a single model is defined it does not have to be entered every time….it only gets entered once. A data table can hold images in a field it can even hold a hyperlink, a command “clicking on it” opens another window as in cascading.

Vendor lists and associated supplier…its not rocket surgery.
Linking to a satellite is currently happening all day long…On Star or a Tom Tom…if it freaks you out then you could pull the sim chip and maybe wrap you head with tinfoil?

Once a model is defined the data does not keep getting entered it get reused over and over each model already has its own VIN and that’s all that gets entered and that defines it and it is what get registered so you can prove you own it and also the manufacturer can be held liable for what it is and how safe it is. Why do you think the NHSTA demand VIN coding documents?

Most people are very conservative and they get entrenched and resent change.
