Of course, now that Obama's in charge of GM, I'd bet that OnStar could be used for "other things" too...

OnStar. pfft, who needs it. I've never gotten lost in my life.

Seriously.

It's called planning ahead, people.

And the other stuff it does is useless to me also~

Anyway, that sort of monitoring system would be unbelievably complicated, bloated, and largely useless. That said, I'd be tempted to believe it if Bush were still in office, but he's not.
