OnStar rolls out "Stalker Service"

[domin8]

Funny you mentioned the Volt. I was just talking to my wife about buying one. I told her it could be my daily commuter car for getting to and from work. My work is only 4.4 miles from my house. I usually take my kid to daycare on the way to and from work, but that's no problem since daycare is across the street. I told her it would be great because I'd never have to fill up since it's suppose to be 30-40 miles of gas free driving. All I'd have to do is plug it every time I got home. Everything in my home is electric. Why not make my car the same thing too? I'm even trying to convince her to put solar panels on the roof and a small wind turbine on the property so that we'd have our own power and not worry every time a storm knocks out the power here (It usually takes a big storm to do that. Last time I lost power was Hurricane Irene several months back.).

I mean, you can already do this with smartphones, but I can see it being a selling point for the controlling husbands (and wives) of America. I would have that shit disabled if that were me. I don't have OnStar hooked up anyway, I don't need it, I have a phone. Hubbs does and he only pays $19, I believe, after calling and threatening to cancel service. His XM is super cheap too. The only reason he keeps his is for the OnStar app, which he uses a lot.

Looks like the new "Stalker Service" almost got a dumb-ass subscriber killed: http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/...-last-stand-at-a-groves-parking-lot/#comments

Man, ain't the OnStar "Stalker Service" off to a good start?
