GPS tracking devices are there to limit cost to insurers and manufacturers, nothing else. They market these as "safety" promoting devices so as to get an already not-paying-attention public to say, "Yeah, whatever." Commercial airplanes have similar monitoring systems that track just about everything you can imagine: speed/overspeed, flap extension/overspeed, whether the airplane is on a 'stabilized' approach, etc., etc. This is used as a safety tool but the reality is that its main purpose is to assign blame/liability should an accident occur. Manufacturers want to limit payout, as do insurers, and that's the main motivator behind GPS and data tracking in vehicles.
Follow the money. Truer words were never spoken.
