Monitoring, and command,communications and control of private vehicles on the public highway is now high on the political agenda. This is both because it is becoming feasible, and because it may be desirable. From the economic perspective, more efficient se of road resources may be achievable. From a safety perspective, it would clearly be good to reduce road injury and death statistics below the current "9/11"'s-worth per year in the UK (and other similar sized European countries).Various prototypes, proposals and projects are being undertaken. There are a number of technologies that interact as well as numerous legal, political and economic stakeholders. In this note, we pay particular attention to the impact on privacy and safety of di .erent approaches to the overall problem.The purpose is to draw attention to the potential unintended consequences that result from decisions being made at the time of writing, in this arena.
