Where in the world did they find ten people who would let their government put GPS trackers in their cars that also interfere with the car's functioning? Do they get tickets e-mailed to the car's entertainment system when they speed too?
Anyway, it's unlikely such a system would ever be implemented in the United States. Aside from the egregious infringement on freedom, states and municipalities rely on the revenue from speeding tickets. The government doesn't really want people to stop speeding any more than they want to stop alcohol and tobacco sales with sin taxes. I don't know, but I would guess Canada has a similar racket.

You'd be surprised how many people in this country would sign up for such a thing, if the government told them "it'll make you safer and it's for your own good".

Good point on the revenue generation, but a lot of things have happened over the past few years in regards to government control, that, had I told you in 2000, you would have thought I was crazy, or that liberals won the White House and Congress.
