No one tells you when you buy the car all of the shit you are agreeing to. This needs to be changed.
This car doesn’t let you drive over 80mph. It reads speed limit signs and has a database apparently. The owners manual says it will provide that data to law enforcement.
This is insane. There needs to be awareness of this so people can, at the very least, know to ask before they buy. As it stands no one even knows this shit until they sign the papers and look at the owners manual.
As a pedestrian, I am 100% for mechanically speed-limiting cars. No, you don’t need to drive 50mph in a dense city. If ebikes are mechanically limited, a 4 ton vehicle absolutely should be.
That being said, doing this by feeding your location data to a private company is bad fucking idea.
