Another heavy implementation. How will speed be determined from the postings? Cameras, GPS with cellular network, short range radio broadcasts? All bad choices that can be interfered with. If the speed can't be determined, will the car lock itself to a slow dangerous speed like 40 mph?

I won't want to drive a car where I could get throttled to 40 and get rear ended by a semi because some pajeet broke some node.js and now the speed governors couldn't sync.

Anything they can come up with will work poorly, be hacked and defeated in hours or days. Just more nany state trying to turn the whole fucking planet into a bubble wrapped safe space.

They say it's for that, it's really for complete populace control.

A good navigation system already knows where speed limits begin and end, so this would be easy to implement. You'd better hope it updates over cellular (another privacy nightmare) otherwise you're going to be stuck with speed limits that may not be correct, or be on roads that didn't exist when the car was made.

I see that my GPS knows the speed of the roads I'm on, so there's that.

Of course, they'll change speed limits down to 10 MPH to lock you down, or even 0 MPH.

The car just won't start in that situation.

Good thing, it's always pretty simple to get around shit like this.

Well, it used to be.

The car won't start because the computers that control the engine and other management devices required to keep the engine running have been told that they no longer are allowed to operate.

Won't happen. Manufacturers aren't going to cut into their profits by adding parts to a vehicle that people won't buy just to cuck to California. What will happen is they will move their plants out of the state, and they will ship less vehicles to lots that haven't followed suit and left themselves.

Great in theory, but now that the government willing violates the constitution on a frequent and regular basis, not gonna matter.

They already broke the constitution by merely proposing the bill. I just pointed out which part. The first part that I wrote will happen just like I said. It's already happened in California before. When they started demanding unreasonable emissions standards long ago. They lost manufacturers over it.
