Whether you have E-ZPass or not, you won't be stopping at a toll booth on the Thruway in the very near future.

The NY State Thruway Authority's plan to dismantle tool booths in Harriman and Yonkers is on schedule, according to the Times Herald Record. Bids will be taken during the first quarter of the year for companies to begin demolition on the existing toll booths.

The plan is to move the Thruway to an entirely electronic system. Overhead sensors will pick up on motorists with E-ZPass and automatically deduct their tolls from their accounts. The rest will have their cars scanned by high-speed cameras and motorists will be identified by their license plates and sent bills in the mail.

Similar technology is being installed on the two new spans of the Tappan Zee bridge and will be operational when they open next year and in 2018.

What are your thoughts on the new system? Will you be happy to maintain your speed through toll areas or do you think it's another invasion of privacy to scan every car?
