What say you? For or against?

The idea of a “GPS Speed Tracker Tech Delete” sounds like such a dystopian idea, i guess maybe its not that far off from what the reality could be
Fuck off, the number of Teslas on the road going 10 under the speed limit is plenty of speed reduction tech.
Hot take here but I like when the car goes vroom at the rate in which i would like the car to go vroom

the lap time tests of the future with cars limited to 80mph will be really fun
They can get fucked, good way to get people to only buy used cars for the rest of their lives
If it’s only installed in Altimas and other shitboxes for degens, then I’m aligned.
So wait, this guy was “found to have cocaine and PCP in his system which impaired his decision-making” and the solution is to cripple everyone’s cars??

A lot of people here seem to be focused on the mechanics of speed control in the car, rather than the huge constitutional issues related to the government potentially tracking every driver’s position via GPS! That’s some dystopian future garbage right there.
I’ve heard it said before and it’s relevant here: Freedom is scary. Deal with it!
Taking away driver’s ability to take evasive maneuvers seems problematic, from an unintended consequence standpoint. I have narrowly avoided dangerous situations by speeding up to get away, etc.
May initially say they’ll reserve it for situations like this but once it’s in there they won’t stop tooling with using it more and more not to mention the privacy’s risks. If they can alter your speed via GPS then they’ll surely have records of every second of your driving.
I don’t see how this ever comes to fruition with the potential of abuse. I mean could I see a short range say bluetooth kill switch police can only activate within range but feel that’s still pushing it.
ISA technology relies on a car’s GPS location and matches it to a database of posted speed limits and onboard cameras to come up with the legal speed limit. Passive ISA systems warn a driver when the vehicle exceeds the speed limit through sound, visuals or haptic alerts, leaving the driver responsible for slowing the car. Active systems might make it more difficult to increase the speed of a vehicle, or even fully limit it from going, above a posted speed limit.
Privacy nightmare. We still haven’t done anything about cars getting hacked and now you want a system that can override my inputs? HELL NAW.
Ooo more fancy sensors. Wait these explicitly allow for tampering instead of just happening to allow for tampering? NOOOOOOOOOO
And yet, people will still buy them.
Completely against, can’t imagine car manufacturers would be in favor of it either
