Will California exist as a State by then or an encampment for illegals and left winger after all the “normal” people flee high taxes and crime.

Just a matter of time until they are programmed to disable the car after three strikes.

We all know it's just step one.

To know what the speed limit is, the car will have to know what road you are on. I assume this means constant tracking of your route, which means constant contact with a GPS service. Someone will know where you are at all times.

The ACTIVE system will come next. Control of your gas pedal by the car's computer, or via telemetry through the GPS service and law enforcement. It's so handy to slow or stop a vehicle without spike strips that LEO's will have this capability in their cars eventually. No more high speed chases!

So glad the last car I bought has no telemetry whatsoever. I drive it until it dies, or I do.

"The bill requires passive speed governors to be added to all new cars...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

In the meantime, can we just strap Newsom to the bumper?

The vehicles in the CA governor’s entourage will, of course, have NO SUCH LIMITS.

Only the lower classes have to comply.

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.

Remember this???

“We’re passing a law requiring the wearing of seatbelts, but you’ll NEVER be able to be pulled over for not wearing one. It will only be adjunct to being pulled over for another infraction.”

Anyone that believes this type of nanny state crap is an idiot...

the state Senate passed SB 961, a bill sponsored by Sen. Scott Wiener.

This guy has done so much damage to California.

Speed governors would alert drivers with “audible and visual signals when they exceed the speed limit by greater than 10 miles per hour,”

Morons. That is NOT a 'speed governor'.

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
