There's a lot of interesting ways to do usage based vehicle tax that don't impact privacy or do so only minimally.

The simplistic is to just bin roads into N categories and every mile it increments your monthly usage category N road type. The categories could be anything like road type, time of day, current congestion level, etc. There's actually little reason to track the specific location or road name.

Yet, so many reasons for several government agencies to do exactly that.
