			::Yeah, I agree - I don’t know what I was thinking when I said this. Probably a case where it was late (my timezone!) and was just doing edits without really thinking about it. I think this ''might'' make a really good theme article although I haven’t properly looked at it yet.

	Shorter answer: Too broad of a concept for the wiki and individual articles on this have been made. Longer answer: This seems far too broad of a concept for an article in the wiki. We have specific examples of cars collecting data, and those examples if they could exist can just be made in a category.
