The software, called Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), is already implemented by some car manufacturers, such as Ford, Mercedes, and Renault, according to the BMF, but will become mandatory for all new cars from July 2022. ISA limits the speed of the car to the prevailing limit on the road the car is currently on; so, if you’re driving in a 30mph zone, it will limit to 30mph. The software can be overridden by the driver, though, the BMF notes.
What does it accomplish if the driver can override it?

It gets the proberbial foot into the proverbial door.

Once the sheeple accept this change, look for a new mandate in the near future taking the override ability away.

It removes any and all excuses in court regarding speeding if an intentional action must take place before you can speed. No more "Oh I was just keeping with the flow", or "I wasn't watching my speedometer", etc.

Guaranteed revenue generator for municipalities.

Geez, and I thought this thread was about the puzzy cops in Uvald Texas that waited over 45 minutes to breach the school.
I thought the men in Texas were balls on shootists.
Did they just not care or were they scared ?
Probably both.

Riddle me this, Batman. Why would any company build a vehicle that had the capability to exceed the speed limit just to have it governed down? We'll all be looking like China on electric mopeds before this is over...

Leftist posts flock to nanny statehood like moths to a flame. Especially since they feel no urge to stay on topic.
