Of course but why add to that if you don't have to?
Because I think we should charge different rates depending on the road and time of day. Dual carriageway in the middle of the day should be cheaper than weaving through residential roads in the rush hour. That needs more data.
The idea that people aren't tracked is bonkers anyway. There was a murder trial reported in the press this week of which part of the evidence is the mobile phone location of the victim. Collected some time after the alleged attack so logged in a searchable database available to the authorities. Perhaps only available to the police when investigating a crime but maybe available to other parts of the security services all the time.

I think it would be political suicide to ask everyone to add GPS tracking to their car not to mention the logistics of retrofitting that.
It would be super easy to report and charge mileage based on an existing process like MOTs.
You could also just setup local reporting centres. Just drive in, get someone to read the mileage, sign a digital form and fuck off. 2 mins tops.
