TIL that Los Angeles is expanding a program paying people not to drive. If you agree to keep you car parked at home for 5 weeks and explore other ways to get around, you can earn up to $600

The tracking is happening on your mobile phone. That's where mobile apps go.
It sees where you go when you don't have a car.
It sees what public transit you use.
It sees how all sorts of habits are altered without a car.
They will probably find new ways to A/B test the shit out of you too. I'd rather test new medications for cash than be a part of unregulated behavior studies ran by psychopaths.

There's the fun part. They're going to track the shit out of you and your car. Whether you successfully earn that $600 or not, they're going to hoover up your data and sell it for more.
