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?

Oh great…as if the 18-wheelers passing each other along I-40 at 65MPH , taking two miles to get around each other isn’t bad enough.

No matter what you want to do, there is someone in the government who wants to stop it or control it.

"Now Big Brother wants to control the gas pedal in your car 'Fully prevent drivers from exceeding the speed limit'"

....... LOL ..... With these limiters on all cars Nobody will be able to pass slow vehicles ... We will all be traveling at the same speed as the Semi-Trucks on the freeway. Although cops would not need to worry about car chases any more ...

a system that uses a car's GPS location and local speed limit postings

My Grand Cherokee Jeep 'system' is constantly trying to get me to go 20 MPH in places clearly marked much higher than that.

Jeep© wants to charge me $150 to 'upgrade' my system.

And they suggest doing it yearly!

More and more Liberal, Progressive, Big Red Communist Horde, Babushka, Red Hammer and Sickle Ruskie, Commie Red Vlad "the Impaler" Pukekin, Obammy & Biden Crime Syndicate Family, Der Fuehrer Klaus "A Hitler Youth Nazi" Schwabe of the WHO (World Hate (Jews) Organization), Muzzie HamasTerrorist Loving Dimocrats, BIG government lording over we, the so-called little people, whom they say we are: "desperately hanging on to our religious faith, guns, the flag, patriotic beliefs, military loving, freedom loving, God - Family - Country - Freedoms - MAGA, AND last and for the ONLY Nation created under Christian Judeo principals :

Romans Chapter 10:

(9)that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; (10)for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. (11)For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.” (12)For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; (13)for “EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”

(This what the Apostle Paul called "my Gospel which you are saved. (these following verses in 1st Corinthians Chapter 15) Which you will be judged: Romans Chap 2: (16) on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

1st Corinthians Chapter 15:

(1)Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel(FN1) which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, (2)by which you also are saved, if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. (3)For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (4)and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

FN1: Take note here, Paul says "THE" Gospel, NOT "A" Gospel or "ANOTHER" Gospel. Paul makes clear, this is THE, THE one and ONLY Gospel of Grace by which we must know to be saved. Yes, we admit we are a sinner and repeat a sinners prayer for salvation, Christ's hearing your sinners prayer and you coming to a saving faith by Grace!!

Ephesians Chap 2, verses 8 & 9: (8)"For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH; and NOT of yourselves, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD!!; (9) NOT as a results of WORKS, so that no one may boast."

John Chap 14, verse 6:"Yeshua/Jesus said to him, I am THE WAY, and THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE"; "NO ONE (AND brothers, sisters & the lost reading here, I RE-emphasize again: NO ONE, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE) COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME (YESHUA / JESUS)."

Nothing else need be said. This covers how we gain salvation by Yeshua/Jesus. This is Truth, because GOD cannot lie. Christ just said "He was Truth" and "He was THE only WAY to His Father" so that those who are saved, shall be in Heaven with him. I am sorry that that may offend religions of the planet.

Will they monitor road speed or wheel speed? How’s a cab driver supposed to run up the meter these days if he can’t spin his wheels?

When the Biden puppet is ridiculously “reelected” again in 2024 by a fixed election organized by the Rat/RINO domestic enemy uniparty of treason, speed limits are going to be the least of our problems

This might have good intentions but entirely the wrong implementation.

I’ve noticed an uptick in drivers speeding now. And in my city it’s pretty bad. The tail gating is out of control too. But it’s just a few road ways this is happening. Gives new meaning to defensive driving. The scary thing to see is a person with their phone up to the wheel doing 15 over.

Back when there was an Iron Curtain, people in the East had to check in one location and then check in again at various points on their way to their destinations.
You weren’t allowed to explore or get off the route.

Or...if we decide to drive into a major city near us to protest some governmental, social, or financial issue, we will find our cars inoperable.

RLMOREL: Hey, rktman, I can’t make it to the protest about the proposed Federal Gun Registry Database today. My car won’t start up, so I won’t be able to meet you there.

RKTMAN: Mine won’t start either. I was sent an email from the manufacturer saying my brand of EV is experiencing a date bug in the software they are working to fix, and I won’t be able to drive.

RLMOREL: Huh. You said you had a Tesla?

RKTMAN: Yeah. A brand new one, a TS-3.

RLMOREL: My brother has a brand new one as well, a TS-3 like yours, but I just saw him pull out of his driveway.

RKTMAN: And you have a 2027 Ford F=5500?

RLMOREL: Yeah.

RKTMAN: Well, my neighbor has one too, and I saw him leave his house about an hour ago...
