HOW LIBERALS WILL END SPEEDING

The EU is leading the way to our fascist utopia:

...they're testing it: a computer gizmo that makes the car decelerate when it hits the maximum posted speed on any given stretch of road. The system is complicated, involving satellites and Global Positioning gear. It's a grand opportunity for new bureaucracies and the further infantilization of the public in the name of the greater social good

I can imagine we'll someday see tamper-proof smoke detectors mandated in every car similar to the ones in airliners. That government satellite link will have many more uses. Illegal cell phone use could easily be monitored and reported as well.

Some cars already have limiters that keep their top speed down.

Back in college, a friend of mine had a 90 or so T-Bird. When you hit 110 mph, it would downshift to keep you from going faster.

However, he found out if you switch the gauge to metric, it wouldn’t do it.

How long would it take before some hacker hacked that system? 30 seconds?

I remember seeing a news story on the tube about a little plug in chip that you can put in your car. It is like an airliner blackbox. Records all your driving behavior, speed, braking, so on and so on. You take the chip out and you can dowload it into your PC at home and look at it.

Who knows the car companies might have them stashed in your new model car already.

Large companies use them on their fleet trucks and vans.
