It doesn't tell them who is driving.

Oh, that's OK then. All my concerns are neutered in a trice.![]()
I mean, really, why on earth would anyone be concerned at all by the ability for any governmental entity to be able to monitor their travel for the flimsiest of reasons or (similarly) require them to lodge travel plans for any trip outside the country in advance of departure?
The free world used to gasp in amazement at the controls imposed on travel in the former USSR and China, among others. No longer. It seems that we'll have overtaken them in next to no time.

They can monitor your traveling out of the country, they can't monitor 'your' traveling in the country, because they don't know it's you traveling.

I am the only person insured to drive my car. It would not take a genius to work out who was the driver of my car....
For the vast majority of cars you would be able to at leats narrow travel down to a member of a given household.
Advertisers would pay serious money for data like that. Hmmmm.... now there's an idea, perhaps we could stop paying taxes and just let the government sell all our personal data to advertisers to raise revenue instead.
No wait that already happens (electoral register is just one example) and we still get to pay taxes.

If it could be tracked by satelite, and I dare say that it's possible, the government could track the movement of every individual in the country.

Of course tracking of individuals is possible if you want to imbed chips in everybody from birth, or as you say enforced carrying of trackable ID cards, but that's not what is being suggested.

It isn't necessary to track the movements of an individual to invade their privacy.
