Vehicles have evolved over the years from fragile utilitarian contraptions into full-size creations with all of the creature comforts of home. You can now watch movies from the privacy of your own back seat and you do not have to be parked at the local drive-in movie to do it. Passengers can watch a movie as your vehicle is being driven down the highway. Your vehicle, if so equipped, can even phone the proper authorities in case you have an accident and are unable to phone for help yourself. But can your vehicle be tracked without your knowledge?
