Yep. Experimental now, mandatory later. A friend of mine told me a
couple of years ago that he was working on a GPS-based system with
time-of-day-based and location-based road charges for a European
government.
By the way, the ads GMail selected to accompany this included:
"Flashed by Speed Cameras? Make your Plate Invisible When Flashed-No

Good Mary, but your fast forward to real time toll collection seems to
