It is possible for the car to monitor when/where it has been, apply a downloaded pricing matrix, and once a month upload a detailed bill to a central collection agency. Fraud, tampering etc may be problematic.
It may even be possible to link the vehicle to a payment method which could disable the vehicle if the payment method selected failed. No different to Paypal which won't process a payment using a date expired payment card.
Arguments over winners, losers, data protection, privacy etc would no doubt follow - but that is true of any change!
