RFID-tracked cars could be on the horizon, as Austroads, the association of Australian and New Zealand road transport and traffic authorities, investigates how best to deploy the technology.
Radio frequency identification is becoming increasingly popular inside the US government, but agencies have not seriously considered the privacy risks, federal auditors said.

Business executives and bureaucrats are salivating over the potential labour-saving benefits of radio frequency identification technology, and soon technology workers may find reason to be enthusiastic, too.
The United States moves forward with a plan to put RFID chips and biometric data in passports by early next year.
In 10 years almost everything will be tagged, say the experts. So what are these little chips that are soon to be so pervasive, and how will they take over your business?
Radio frequency identification has the potential to revolutionise supply chains of retailers the world over. However, for a 20-year-old technology, it still has significant teething problems.
