State and Fed Gubments Eye Black Boxes to Monitor Road Usage, Charge Fees - And Know Whereabouts

Not all libertarians think this is a "good" idea. In a world of government-run roads, it might help reduce the problem of charging people don't use the roads (via general taxation), but it invades privacy and does not address the fundamental issue: the gubment has no place running, building or supposedly "keeping up" (poorly so) roads.

If the roads were run privately (as thousands of miles of roads were in the US), the choices coul dbe made voluntarily, and differing degrees and combinations of privacy and ease coul dbe achieved. Not so with gubment. It's one size fits all, and force. Simple as that.
