Literally impossible unless the cars have some kind of tracking software to monitor location.

and you know if its doing that, its not doing it without leaking your data to law enforcement and advertisers.

So, yeah, no thanks. Train cops to do their actual, legitimate jobs instead of letting them waste their time with actual fucking inhuman torture, and the issue would also be solved. and in the right way, instead of the invasive privacy destroying way.

Modern cars read the speed limit signs. Like my 2021 rav4 does it so it's not just the techy cars.

I love that you got downvoted even though you’re correct.

My Mazda uses GPS and the camera also reads road signs to display the speed limit on our HUD and instrument panel. The speedometer shows the limit as well and if you go over it shows a red line (which is useful honestly). Doesn’t beep thank god, I’d burn it.

It's quite unreliable though. Ours works probably ~90-95% of the time. The other 5-10% it missed the sign or reads the sign on a neighbouring road. That doesn't sound too bad, but if it's going to beep at you (for a mistake it made itself nonetheless) it would quickly get really annoying.

You think they make cars without GPS now?

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

You think GPS can be trusted? Its still sending people into lakes and dead ends.

Maybe it uses the road signs? I think most modern cars already read the road signs and display the limit on the dash.

Only issue with this system, at least from my car is that it can sometimes get it wrong, so it would be super annoying if the car beeped when I was doing more than 10mph that what it thinks the limit is.

Ah does it? I did skim the article but must have missed it.

According to the bill, the “passive intelligent speed assistance system” that would be required would be “[an] integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits, to determine the speed limit, and utilizes a brief, one-time visual and audio signal to alert the driver each time they exceed the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour.” It would also default to the higher speed limit if, for whatever reason, there are multiple speed limits in the area you’re driving.
