  The car isn't really the problem.

  After having work with the Intelligent Transportation Systems community for a few years, I am increasingly convinced that we don't need smarter cars, we need smarter drivers - a solution that is far easier to implement than is generally acknowledged.

    Someone should remind them how much money they'd lose from speeding fines, I'd bet they'd change their mind then....

  I see a flaw already!

  Anyone given a thought to overtaking? Imagine overtaking a tractor on a single carriage way when another car is coming towards ya and you need that little extra umph to get by? Imagine the glorious technology kicking in and slowing you down? Yah right.

  Managing morons

  i agree the need to acccelerate while overtaking n then realising ur pulp cos the system shuts ur speed via satellite.. is a bit too much.
  
  However why cant we have something like, a small gps/satallite tracking unit which feeds car info every 5 - 10 secs to the traffic unit. Everytime you cross over the speed limit it is recorded and goes into your "file" database wotever .
  
  when you do go to register your carr, all the info is up and the traffic coppers can take the necessary action/place fines/take the vehicle off u.
  
  i mean if info like this can be stored n transmitted or even kept in a small mem in the device in your car, then it wud definately eas the traffic speeding issues as well as make certain we pay up for the fines, which should be very high.
