RE: How will they keep track of miles driven?

From what I've read, they don't have a clue.

The talk is that the GPS would be a problem with privacy. Some sort of add-on device is considered that tracks mileage but not GPS. There is also a problem if you drive out of state, so simply reading the odometer isn't accurate for CA miles.

I suspect that hacks on the car computers will be widely proliferated for any possible solution.

Realistically, it seems like a better idea is just to add a fee to the registration fees. Since the tax will be terribly regressive and unfair to the poor and middle class that may commute longer distances, a flat amount for all seems reasonable. Charging EVs is actually the problem as they're not paying gas taxes.
