I’m sorry - this is just fucking stupid. Cars are becoming way too bogged down with shit like this that acts like a hovering parent who nags you constantly while having to know where you are all the time.

California freeways are 65mph. Unless there is traffic, most drivers tend to go around 80mph. They will be constant.
In my opinion, this is trying to tackle the issue in a poor manner. People who are speeding already know that they are, so it's not like a beep or visual warning is going to cause them to change their behavior. It's trying to force a technical solution to a non-technical issue.
I just can't wait to see how quickly someone finds a way to bypass this nanny bullshit.
Getting information is "nanny"?
Information by itself, no.
Having something constantly watch my behavior and nag me when I'm being "bad" is, yes.
It's not "watching your behaviour". Nor is it "nagging". It's beeping when a speed is reached. Quit hyperventilating
Y'all trying to create more GOP'er with this asinine shit. Jesus Christ I'm tired of this nanny state shit.
How the fuck does getting a speeding indicator mean that you have a nanny state? Merely being given information is too much for you?
We just got an electric car that does this and it's annoying as fuck because it often messes up the speed limit and tells you that you are going too fast even though you are not.
My thoughts exactly. There’s no way it’s going to be correct for every situation. It can’t take into account changing road conditions.
It's not even just the changing conditions. It just has wrong speed limit data in some areas and spmetimes it says there is work being done on the road where there isnt and similar
