I know this is a pretty old article but that in particular is what caught my attention.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/7066376/Average-speed-cameras-could-be-used-on-all-motorways.html

More often than not I just hate technology. It also makes me think, what do the people who do this stuff live like? Are they boring old sods who just have no idea what it is like to step outside their expensive London home (paid for by the public)?

Quote:
Other recommendations in the Commission's report include a call for all cars to be fitted with speed limiters to cut carbon emissions.

The Commission has called on ministers to set a timetable for the introduction of the technology which could make it impossible for cars to break the speed limit.

Additionally, it believes that "Intelligent Speed Adaptation" should be fitted on Government cars, including the ministerial motor pool.

This would avoid a repetition of an incident in 2000 when the official car carrying Jack Straw, then Home Secretary, was caught travelling at 103 mph.

Urgh. That was a report from the last lot of idiots. The new lot of idiots wants to raise the motorway speed limit. Try to keep up.

It's only a matter of time before all cars know the speed limits for every road and automatically stick to them. Hopefully it won't happen in my lifetime.
