They will know where, when and how fast. You will not be modding. Insurance companies will have access, because you won't be insured unless you agree to them monitoring you. Depressing future guys. It isn't just battery health they will be watching.
GM's wireless battery breakthrough draws buzz

IEEE Spectrum is posting information on its exclusive look at General Motors' (NYSE:GM) wireless battery management system that is drawing notice in engineering circles.
"Unlike today’s battery modules, which link up to an on-board management system through a tangle of orange wiring, GM’s system features RF antennas integrated on circuit boards. The antennas allow the transfer of data via a 2.4-gigahertz wireless protocol similar to Bluetooth but with lower power. Slave modules report back to an onboard master, sending measurements of cell voltages and other data. That onboard master can also talk through the cloud to GM."
"The upshot is cradle-to-grave monitoring of battery health and operation, including real-time data from drivers in wildly different climates or usage cases. That all-seeing capability includes vast inventories of batteries—even before workers install them in cars on assembly lines."
GM is working with Analog Devices (NASDAQ:ADI) on the project that could be shared across model platforms.
