I already have a GPS in my car, its a great alarm system.
I left the door slightly open on my car last week while I was going into the mall, and it was just enough to set off the alarm, 1 min later I get a call saying they have an alarm going off on my car.
Very cool stuff. And they can disable the car if the police give them authorization. They have already got rules against giving your car to your wife and ringing up control to find out where she is fucking your postman. When I was chatting to the controler, I asked him to tell me what street I was on, and he said he couldn't unless I turned the car alarm off and then on again to prove I was with the car and so he could here the beeping from the alarm.
I guess they don't want to get sued... Thats in Aussie, i'm sure the same applies in US.
Those GPS's are getting cheaper, they have a Aussie company doing GPS car Alarms for US$200 + US$50 a year, mine cost twice that but its still cheap for the protection it gives you.
I can't see them getting cheap enough to throw on everyones car anytime in the next 20 years but who knows.
