Best Answer

Depends on the contract/agreement between the car owner and the company. If you made and agreement with the company and the company puts the GPS unit in your car you have to discuss the privacy matters which will be raised when they will track the car when you are off-duty... Every General Motors vehicle now produced has a GPS device in it. They don't 'own' them once they are sold. If you are employed by the company and the company pays the gas you fill in you car it's natural when the company wants to know where are you and where are you going and what is the speed and if the right front seat has substantial load on it etc etc. It saves millions of gallons of gas installing the GPS Black Boxes to store the roots and points of stops and post-process it to discover the places the employee visited being paid. It saves even more having "geofencing" feature in the unit.
