Would a driver’s privacy be invaded by the mileage counting device placed in the vehicle?
No. The mileage-counting device in cars simply tells the odometer whether to count the miles as “in state” or “out of state.” This is necessary to prevent Oregonians from being charged for miles driven outside the state. No location data is stored in the device or elsewhere; since vehicle location data is not collected, it cannot be accessed. The only data collected and transmitted is the mileage, sent to the gas pump reader through a radio frequency that can only travel about three to four feet.
