OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 9 — In about a month, traffic sensors being installed along San Francisco Bay area highways will be able to track a quarter million drivers along their commutes. Proponents say the $37 million enhancement to the region’s electronic toll system will be a boon to commuters, providing motorists real-time information about some of the nation’s worst road congestion via cell phone, radio or Internet. Traffic planners will be able to gather crucial data on problem areas. But despite government assurances, the new program is also raising fears that drivers’ privacy will be invaded. [/quoteurl]
