And you thought the nationwide surveillance story was bad news? The National Motorists Assoc. just posted this story about tests being carried out in the UK involving satellites being used as a speed-limiting device. Currently, three types of systems are being evaluated: an advisory mode that informs or reminds the motorist of the speed limit, another version that would apply the brakes or limit fuel, but that can be overidden and, lastly, a system that would take over complete control and not allow for driver over-ride. Thankfully, it would be a voluntary system, but, according the Telegraph UK, 54% of those asked said they’d opt for some type of system.

Hmm, who the hell would sign up for that?! I would design a system to override that if it ever becomes mandatory.
that’s ridiculous.
People say one thing, but it would be a cold day in hell before that gets put on my cars.
It can be discussed infinitely
