A GPS-based congestion-pricing system makes an enormous amount of sense: no gantries to build, and no weird artifacts like the ones you’d get in New York if you just charged everybody driving south of 60th Street. That’s the way to charge lots of money to drive on Avenue D, and no money to drive around downtown Brooklyn: it’s silly. And the technology is already up and running: Germany and the Slovak Republic are using GPS devices on trucks, and Singapore has announced it’s going to install it on all motor vehicles at some point. What’s more, the European Union is heavily invested in it, now that it’s spent $4 billion on a new GPS satellite network called Galileo.I don't know why Felix wants to highlight just one vendor, which he does.
So, day by day we are gaining acceptance of the networked auto.

Um, because I've never heard of Net Car. I tried Googling them, that didn't work, maybe you could link to them?
