Car navigation equipment mainly include two categories: In-Dash navigation and Portable Navigation Device (PND).
In OEM market, In-Dash navigation devices play main roles. In December 2011, ResearchInChina investigated 3,698 models of passenger cars on sale in the Chinese market and found that 1,041 models (accounting for 28.2%, up 6.7 percentage points from 2010) were equipped with In-Dash navigation devices (as standard configuration).
In 2011, among all cars on sale in China, 42.7% of European cars were equipped with In-Dash navigation devices (as standard configuration), up 6.4 percentage points from 2010; the proportions of South Korean cars and Chinese cars with In-Dash navigation devices (as standard configuration) saw the highest growth rates, and increased by 10.5 percentage points and 8.7 percentage points respectively.
Breaking Down the Supreme Court's GPS Tracking Decision
The NY Times once dubbed the case, U.S. v. Jones, “the most important Fourth Amendment case in a decade.” It is the first time the Supreme Court confronted the government’s growing use of digital technology to monitor Americans and ruled strongly in favor of privacy.
The case involved the conviction of Antoine Jones, a suspected drug dealer in the District of Columbia who was arrested after being monitored for 28 days by a GPS tracking device surreptitiously attached to his Jeep by law enforcement agents without a warrant.
Based on the court’s decision, law enforcement must first obtain a warrant before attaching a GPS tracking device to a suspect’s car and monitoring him.
The court was divided, however, as to what level of GPS tracking would require a search warrant. Justice Antonin Scalia, speaking for a five-member majority, said the police erred because they attached the tiny tracking device to the vehicle. He said the 4th Amendment was intended to protect against government searches on private property, reported the LA Times .
