Now my brain is churning.  Imagine Model T's periodically uploading information
to a central processing unit via a cellular line periodically.  A sysop then
monitors the information that comes in a checks it for anomalies.  The T's are
sending info about everything from fuel consumption to oil pressure, to
distance travelled in the last x minutes.  That, and some triangulation based
on the cells that the phone is using could provide basic traffic info!
