Yet more control

[BOP]

A new California bill would require certain vehicles sold or manufactured in the state to be equipped with speed limiter technology.

Germany does something like this. They have cameras set up at intervals and if you get from one to another, too quickly, they know you've been speeding and will issue a ticket.

The difference is that I can choose to speed and just take the penalty. REmoving the capability is a whole different thing.

I'm reminded of a part of a science fiction book. Woman and man are working on his vehicle, hes handling the mechanical systems, she sorting out the software, something he's just kludged together over the years. Very smart car, lots of verbal command and control. To paraphrase

Her: What's this, I see you have the window and door safety protocols bypassed?

Him: If I tell Gay (the car, Gay Deceiver) to close the window or door and someone has some part of themselves inside at the time, you can assume I think they would look better without it.

It might have been the blinker fluid.

Yep, Number of the Beast. Also loved the bit about the fact that in addition to remote voice command to open the door, he has fingerprints, and also a tap code in case he can't speak. Redundancy good. Single point failure bad
