The bill only sets outs the requirement and doesn’t specify what technology will be used to achieve that requirement. But @NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip is right, the only way it can actually work is if you have a database to compare to and a precise location. Without precise location, you might as well be comparing the speed limit of the other side of the city instead of the street the car is.
As used in this article, “intelligent speed limiter system” means an integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits, to determine the speed limit, and electronically limits the speed of the vehicle to prevent the driver from exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour.
Well looks like they pointed out the exact mechanism the bill proposes.
They say it’s passive, but how do you keep the database synched? Actively. And since your car is already connecting to the government computers to actively get the database it’s not a stretch to assume a next step is monitoring car movements en masse.
And what happens when the database isn’t updated in a timely way, or when a car loses GPS signal, or when you leave the state?
Then please, let me know what part of the bill refutes the above?
How are they serving the data without GPS? And how is GPS not going to require a unique identifier and the current location to a high degree of precision?
Again. The entirety of this hinges on whether you trust the us government to not increase scope in the future. Often through incredibly sketchy and broad manners, like the patriot act.
You didn’t read the bill, did you?
