A "groundbreaking" bill

[Thinker101]

A Democratic lawmaker has introduced a bill he calls "groundbreaking" that would require all new cars sold in California to be equipped with a device preventing them from traveling more than 10 mph over the speed limit.

Nah, democrats don't want to control your life.

It is California. When was the last time you saw good law come out of California?
Don't look for this bill to pass, even in California.

How does your car know what the speed limit is?

How does your car know what the speed limit is?

By GPS

My guess is California would spend $150 million to have signs emit a signal that a chip in the car could recognize.

Like there wouldn't be a black market to disable those systems.

Wouldn't put it past CA to check them every few years like they have with smog checks.

$150M just wouldn't cut it. They have like 400K miles of roadway and the speed limit isn't always the same on both sides of the road and in some areas, the speed limit depends on the time of day. I am thinking they would need at least $1.5B

As crazy as Jesse Ventura was, at least as Governor of MN he eliminated that crap. It hurt the poor who had older cars.

You could probably just put tape over the camera. Tesla is having a devil of a time trying to get its sign recognition technology to work on their self-driving cars ( that are apparently fond of breaking the speed limit).

I have no doubt the only reason they are doing it is because Europe is starting to implement those type systems.

Sounds good to me - what's the issue?

You support deadly crime?

Towers would signal it to your car's computers.

Not how it works. The systems Europe are toying with use either GPS positioning to set the speed limits or optical sign recognition technology which is very flawed because those have trouble distinguishing among sign types with any numbers on them

Different methods could be employed, but an absolutely great idea.

Except for those who support crime, recklessness, injury and death.

Imagine how great this would be in school zones and such.

The new ones know because of GPS

Not surprising you support this. You seem to love government intervention in the private sector and personal lives.
You just love the govt.
