Vehicle tracking is here to stay whether you like it or not. The benefits to businesses running fleets of vehicles are huge and therefore it will only grow in popularity.

Most businesses feel that vehicle tracking is a great way to cut costs and oil the workings of their day to day operations. The benefits of for businesses with a fleet of vehicles out ways the financial cost to the business.

Others say it is another example of how technology is being used to control people and limit peoples freedom. This is otherwise known as big brother, which comes from the book 1984 written by George Orwell.

This could be considered to be the case if governments start to make vehicle tracking systems compulsory for every vehicle in the country. Then such wide scale tracking of the general population would be argued to be an invasion of privacy. With business vehicle tracking is being used for financial reasons, not to spy on people. Yes they may use it to make sure you are not skiving off work, but then you should not be skiving off work, so what’s the problem? They maybe cases where vehicle tracking is abused by companies, but on the whole it is just there to help run the business in a smoother more efficient manner.
