    As someone who has to drive vehicles for work that have a similar system thats GPS based, I dont hate this shit as much as you would think.

    I dont come to work to lose money because I get fined for speeding. I think “Oh shut up you fucking nanny piece of shit…” but I still slow down.

      A GPS based system probably doesn’t pick up signs from parking lots you drive past and similar nonsense, though.

      Camera based systems issue a lot of false alarms, because drivers are just supposed to know that they’ve left a lower speed area and are back on a main road now. You don’t have speed limit signs on every intersection.

        Gps systems then will have to keep a database of speed limits. As speed limits change, those have to be updated. I wonder for how long a manufacturer will provide updates

          Or if manufacturers will simply be required to use the government database. Which has the handy side effect of recording all your travels for law enforcement.
