GPS was covered in some detail in the original 1998 thread. GPS just
isn't accurate or reliable enough for a lot of fast-moving objects in
a crowded space. I've used a GPS handheld extensively and would not
bet my life on its resolution of 14 feet, or even 1 foot if such
accuracy was possible for the public.

Besides, GPS is just one of many flaws in the concept.

Galileo plans to go to 1 meter resolution. Enhanced GPS will have a
similar resolution. A SkyCar or similar vehicle is well below the
maximum speed threshold for GPS.
