Virginia will use technology to slow chronic speeders’ cars—and other states are rushing to join in

Intelligent Speed Assist can prevent a car from exceeding the speed limit. Republicans in Virginia just passed a law to make it a punishment for repeated traffic violations—and other states may soon follow suit.

Rather than relying on dubious ex post penalties, ISA systems make extreme speeding difficult or even impossible. The technology, which can be installed while a car is manufactured or afterward, uses GPS to identify the speed limit on a road segment and then deter drivers from going more than a programmed amount beyond it. “Passive” ISA systems issue tactile or audible warnings that attract the driver’s attention, while heavier-handed “active” systems block additional acceleration after the maximum threshold is reached. (ISA works through the gas pedal; it does not affect braking.)

FFS. This is exactly what I’m talking about when I say I most fear a world where everyone is law-abiding because there is no choice.

Yeah, I’ve been expecting this as well as vehicle GPS pings for identity…
