....and in eight months speeding drivers will receive their traffic citations in the mail.
Since the information used to issue the citations is digitally encoded, thus statistically infallible, there will be no appeals process. (OK, I'm projecting, but not by much.)
More reason to avoid ever owning a cell phone, or a vehicle with "On-Star"!
One of the major reasons I chose to live in Nevada was that 90+% of our roads are unpaved, making it harder for Big Brother to enact most of the schemes to control our movements.
This garbage makes the type of road irrelevant, they just monitor us from space.
Yeah, On Star. Hey, you already have this stuff in the OBD2 systems on your new cars that record the highest speed and driving habits. I'd hate to read the chip in my old truck.
OBD3 is coming, and Johnny Law will be able to read your emissions system performance, tell if you haven't been servicing you car, how fast you were going and when, etc.
"information age" LOL
As to the cell phone, I can always turn it off and take out the battery. I don't talk and drive anyway. But there is no way I'd buy a car with a built in tracker. I don't have one that stores the info in an onboard computer for later download, either.
