"(Dr.) Jeffrey Williams. Looking at the very distant future, can we make it clearer how much air
pollution is costing people? I can envision cars with a meter on the dash that shows the health
care cost of the tailpipe emissions. The owner can then get repairs to reduce emissions (rather
than hit a cut point). We’re not using all the information we could (from OBD II for example) to
fix the pollution costs of the vehicle. How many miles has the car has driven with check engine
light? There should be a fine for driving with the check engine light on."
