There's orders of magnitude different in having to walk up to the windshield of every car you're interested in vs. passively sniffing IP traffic to discover VINs of thousands of cars in a go. And dare I mention the big brother aspect of setting up roadside monitors? And what about son-of-google-street-view? The privacy aspects of being able to reverse-map IP traffic to VINs are staggering. I remain unconvinced that there should be any special case in the protocol for this, as I've yet to see an argument as to why ULAs are not sufficient. I remain violently opposed to any protocol definition that supports VIN <> IP address mapping.
