If onstar can unlock your car, likely they can turn it off or limit your speed as well. Cop revenues might see a decline. Or older cars will still speed if the driver feels like it. And lots of folks figured this was on the horizon. EVs and AI. What a match huh?

Sometimes, when you're testing new tech in the R&D phase, things don't always go as planned. Failure is required to debug your tech.

Americans are ready for this kind of control. Just tell them it’s for the greater good, and they are virtuous if they support it... done.

Until the GPS is hacked and the Speed Limit is set to 120 MPH through a school zone. WEEEEEEEEE!

So! “America”! How are are your rights, liberties and freedoms doing so far? The Zero Gs and Millies are all intending to move to Muslim Europe once they finally tear down and destroy America. The Zero Gs are America’s sewage generation. They make the baby boomers all look like rocket scientists, which by the way, many of us are.

If a vehicle is driving 50 mph in a 60 mph zone and I am limited to 60mph, if I try and pass him at 60 I will be in the opposite lane for an extended period of time. This will kill people.

Big Brother in the backseat.

https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/NR20231114.aspx
This is NTSB recommendations to the NHTSA:

- Require ISA systems that, at a minimum, warn a driver a vehicle is speeding.
- Educate the public about the benefits of ISA.
- Update the guidelines for state highway safety programs to include identification and tracking of repeat speeding offenders.
- Develop countermeasures to reduce repeat speeding offenses.
- Conduct research and develop guidelines to assist states in implementing ISA interlock programs for repeat speeding offenders.

Imagine the chaos as the BigBrotherMobiles are phased in. Those cars will be locked to the speed limit, and mixed in with cars that aren’t. How many road rage accidents and shootings will this stupidity cause?

ON STAR always could stop your car midway to anywhere.

Nixon demanded such to try & put a crimp into drug cartels using large Suburbans & SUV’s to transport drugs.

Yep. I can see it now: I’m on a rural back road with a speed limit of 50 and I see the opportunity to pass a farm tractor, so I pull out, step on the gas peddle to speed up to pass, and nothing happens...Or, I speed up but the “technical assistant” wakes up, slows me down just enough that I can’t pull back in, but an oncoming SUV with a 6-passenger family onboard slams into me.

30 minutes later, the police hear a mechanical voice saying: “WARNING. There’s an on-coming vehicle approach in this lane!...this lane!...this lane!...this lane!...”

Yep. what could possibly go wrong...go wrong...go wrong...

The real goal of “driverless” car technology has all along been “how to control” how all cars are driven, to the point of total control over how, and where, every car is driven, period.

The mindset of the technologists and the globalists in this matter is the same - dictatorship of the “experts” under the political control of de jure or de facto dictators.

They will not stop you from speeding. It will just cut you a ticket when you doo. The only question is: one ticket per trip, or one per each crossing into speeding territory?

“This time it comes from the National Transportation Safety Board and it involves outsiders having control of the gas pedal in your car.”

Well, of course. When it is noticed that a full scale invasion is promoted by the Federal government in daylight and nothing is done to resist it, then anything goes. They just might implement a policy that a Federal official has the right to enter a man’s house and have sex with his wife. I wonder if there would be the slightest pushback from a completely pussified and prissified nation.

The NTSB said the recommendation came out of the investigation of an accident in North Las Vegas. There, a man under the influence of drugs drove his 2018 Dodge Challenger at about 103 mph through a red light into an intersection, hitting five other vehicles.

ONE accident by a guy on drugs is being used as the excuse to take over every single vehicle in the USA? Unfreaking believable. As others have said, we all know this has nothing to do with traffic safety and saving lives.

The Federal Highway Administration says that back in 1971 the nation drove 1.1 trillion miles. In 2022, it had grown (almost linearly) to 3.3 trillion miles. Cumulatively from 1971 to 2022, the nation had driven 122 trillion miles.

Yet, in the minds of these tyrants, ONE ACCIDENT out of those 122 TRILLION MILES justifies taking control of every single vehicle in the USA.

The mind boggles.

I’ll never understand the insatiable need for some to control others. Almost always the target is normal, law abiding citizens.

When it comes to actively pursuing criminals target the desire seems nonexistent (e.g., southern border, inner city crime, government corruption).

Gee - wont it be fun driving along, obeyign the speed limit, and then having your car speed up with no input from you, and then a week later get a speeding ticket? IF they can control the top speed- they can manipulate your speed at will- both up and down-
