Other then the infrastructure problem, there are a few other problems with something like that, but if all the OBD-III stuff gets on vehicles that will be the next thing on there I'm sure.
I hate to say it but if they did that, I would purposly go out and buy the oldest cheapest thing I could drive. If it werent for all these people wanting "this and that, and somebody else to pay for it"............ we probably would have as many tax problems!
