By finding its location on a map of speed limits. And services like Waze send out temporary speed restriction information via cell network.

Yet another reason to NEVER go to California as well as encourageing the rest of us to figure out how to ban Californians from buying houses in free states.

If you think you're off the hook because you don't live in California, think again.

These will be on ALL cars. Automakers comply with California standards for everything marketed for the United States. The California market is huge and it isn't cost-effective to make "non-California" cars.

California residents are like kids with an everyday pass to Disneyland.

Manufacturers have been making “California” and “non-California” wood stoves for decades.

Wood stoves are a very small niche market. They aren't Toyotas.

There are other items in the Northern Tools catalog which are CA vs. non-CA.

There's lots of goods that are CA and non-CA.

Not automobiles. Really, not anything that's expensive and heavy industry, whether jet skis, motorcycles, or tractors.

Today your car will ‘scold’ you. Tomorrow, it will limit you. Soon after, it will shut down and send an email to Big Brother.

I was thinking about starting a company called “Techless”.

Bring your car in and we remove all technology except an AM/FM radio but install a cell phone jammer and provide an Atlas.

What this does is make you drive your car completely by yourself unaffected by diversions, can’t watch videos, must stay in your lane on your own, turn on your own windshield wipers, dim your lights as needed, turn them on when needed, park your own car, pull over to make a call, know where you’re going by reading a map etc.

Ironic. I was TDY to Kalifornia in the early 90s and almost got ticketed for holding up traffic. Everyone else was going 15-20 over and being a “visitor”, I was uncomfortable going more than 10 over.....the cop gave me a warning and said that one had to go with the flow of traffic no matter what the signs said....

I drove a new Toyota rental and it indicated the speed limit on the dash indicator in green. The car apparently has GPS event though there was no GPS navigation function

So, the Corolla already has the ability to know when the driver is driving in excess of the limit. The computer running everything van set a maximul possible speed

I use WAZE navigation and it always posts a red indicator when I am speeding. On interstates, everyone driving in the left lane is always speeding.

California has resigned from America. What the wackos in the government propose and do should not concern Americans

Automakers already (sort of) make California vs non-California cars: EV vs ICE.
