I saw this article earlier today, and left it open in my browser … every time I glance over the remaining tabs I keep seeing it, and I can’t help but wonder what the future would hold, if the cops decided this worked.
Wouldn’t it be weird if all vehicles had GPS-based limiters in them to prevent speeding? Next thing you know, there’d be no speed traps … “with 90% of the population driving GPS-limited vehicles, the police decided it was economically unfeasible … blah, blah, blah.” After all, why enforce the speed limit “by hand” if only those with truly old cars can break it?
The new “warez” would be auto-hacking tools to disable GPS systems on demand so that when your car is tested every year it passes inspection, but when you’re out on the open highway, you can just push a button on your RF remote control and whoosh you’re going twice the speed limit and the only thing you have to worry about is all those cars that looke like they’re parked in the road.
Luckily, a system like this will never fly except in some communist country, right? Hmm. What’s up with the big brother state in England?
