They do not transmit, ever. Neither do Verichip implants, for that matter.
Uses Cellular and GPS Technology - Designed to be used in conjunction with cell towers and GPS satellites, all you will need to operate this simple beauty is a pre-paid SIM card. The iTrack uses up to 32 satellite channels and cellular towers for accuracy within 10 feet.
Multiple Tracking Modes - You have the option of setting your iTrack to report its location as often as every 10 seconds or any duration Minute, Hour, Day ....
Geo-Fencing - Have a wiley teenager? You can pre-set a Geo-fence zone to alert you every time Timmy the Teenager goes outside a specified zone - Timmy will never be able to go to the wrong side of tracks without your knowledge. Zones can be as big or as small as you want them to be - you decide what is "off-limits"....
Many motorists do not know it, but it is likely that every time they get behind the wheel, there's a snitch along for the ride.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Friday proposed long-delayed regulations requiring auto manufacturers to include event data recorders - better known as "black boxes" - in all new cars and light trucks beginning Sept. 1, 2014. But the agency is behind the curve. Automakers have been quietly tucking the devices, which automatically record the actions of drivers and the responses of their vehicles in a continuous information loop, into most new cars for years.
NHTSA estimates that 96 percent of all 2013 model year cars already have event data recorders as standard equipment.....
There is no opt-out. It is extremely difficult for car owners to disable the recorders. Although some vehicle models have had recorders since the early 1990s, a federal requirement that automakers disclose their existence in owner's manuals didn't go into effect until three months ago. Automakers that voluntarily put recorders in vehicles are also now required to gather a minimum of 15 types of data....

My dogs are chipped. Its handy if they get lost so they can check them see where they live but, its not like they can be tracked or anything. You have to take them to a place like the vets that can scan them. Of course they have have no power and so they can not broadcast unless they placed near a scanner and that provides the power. So they do have some limited use.
...I TRY to understand, but HISTORY does not stick in my brain like numbers do....

My friend, I AM one of the wheels within the wheels. You would know this, had you gone to my previously linked post, and 'analyzed' the person behind this side of the conversation. Your mind has already been made up. You have been led to the water and chosen not to drink.
Thanks for taking the time to address my correspondence with you. It made me smile.
-Cheers

I did not make myself clear. The chips do not have to transmit. THE READER does the transmitting and can be mandatory in every new car. Cars already have computers and event recorders. Semi-trucks have tracking devices. So how much more difficult is it to add a reader to the mix?
Tracking devices are also available. Spy Satellite GPS Tracking Device for Freightliner Semi Trucks

I don't think we're going to need to have microchips implanted into us whatsoever. Take a look at your credit/debit cards and grocery store club cards.
RFID technology is being embedded in everything from security tags, ID's, gift cards and inventory tracking labels. I don't see people getting anything implanted in the next 10 years, as Google Glass is barley off the ground.
The next thing I do foresee, however, is more wearable technology. The new smart watches and the rumored "iWatch" from Apple might be game changers in this area.
US planning to recruit one in 24 Americans as citizen spies
...The Bush Administration aims to recruit millions of United States citizens as domestic informants in a program likely to alarm civil liberties groups. The program would use a minimum of 4 per cent of Americans to report “suspicious activity”. Civil liberties groups have already warned that, with the passage earlier this year of the Patriot Act, there is potential for abusive, large-scale investigations of US citizens. Highlighting the scope of the surveillance network, TIPS volunteers are being recruited primarily from among those whose work provides access to homes, businesses or transport systems. Letter carriers, utility employees, truck drivers and train conductors are among those named as targeted recruits.
Historically, informant systems have been the tools of non-democratic states. According to a 1992 report by Harvard University’s Project on Justice, the accuracy of informant reports is problematic, with some informants having embellished the truth, and others suspected of having fabricated their reports...” www.smh.com.au...
It should be noted that on page 27 of the USDA proposed draft for NAIS it states:
Reporting Animal Movement/Sightings
Records that provide animal location and movements would be received from various sectors of the industry (producers, animal health officials, service providers, markets, and slaughter plants). Such input would be obtained through the integration of the AIN/Animal Transaction file. xstatic99645.tripod.com...
hell they might even start using cell phone towers, maybe even build the phony ones like they do for cell phones.

I think in about 50 years we'll start to see more of that stuff. But things happen way way way more slowly in the real world than what the news would love to you believe. I think it's more like the great great grand kids that will start to use and adopt all that. I'm not worried. As for implants get real. It's not gonna happen like that at all.
LESSON EMPHASIS
This lesson will focus on awareness and current issues requiring the attention of future Equal Opportunity Advisors. It will also provide information that describes sources of extremism information, definitions, recruitment of DoD personnel, common themes in extremist ideologies, common characteristics of extremist organizations, DoD policies, and command functions regarding extremist activities. ......
D. Extremist Ideologies
1. Introduction
• As noted, an ideology is a set of political beliefs about the nature of people and society. People who are committed to an ideology seek not only to persuade but to recruit others to their belief. In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples. ...
2. Ideologies
a. Nationalism – The policy of asserting that the interests of one’s own nation are separate from the interests of other nations or the common interest of all nations. Many nationalist groups take it a step further and believe that their national culture and interests are superior to any other national group.
b. Supremacy – The belief that one’s race or ethnicity is superior to all others and should dominate society. Supremacy, as with racial supremacies in general, has frequently resulted in anti-Black and anti-Semitic violence.
c. Separatism – Setting oneself or others apart based on culture, ethnicity, race, or religion.
d. Anarchism – A political ideology that considers the state to be unnecessary, harmful, or undesirable. ... protesters wreaking havoc at political conventions and anti-globalization rallies.
e. Religion – Extremist ideology based on intolerance toward other religions.....

You are still missing what I am trying to say.
Person A gets in a car passing through the doorway with reader, person B gets in car and so does persons C and D. The reader now knows not only who is the registered owner but who the passengers are.
The rest of the stuff was examples of tracking devices in moving vehicles that can be coupled with the information from the reader(s).

Wow, how'd this conversation turn from chipping people, to national ID, okay... but to onstar?
For what its worth, I was a car salesman for a bit in my 20s, and we had our own dealer account with a GPS tracking company who sent us tiny boxes smaller and slimmer than a cell phone, about the size of an avg cigarette lighter, in lots of 10 per order and we'd hotwire them in secret places i cant write about.
A transmitted is a transmitter...
...it emits a signature signal, ie, RF, that can be triangulated, and hotwired to the car, never die unless the battery completely does, but would still work while a car is driving around with a jumped dead batter.
Just in people, the RF would be tiny and yes with time, they can create one that powers itself off neural signals, size doesn't matter, transmitter size gets smaller and smaller with nanotech.
