New idea - speed spy

[See previous]

It's one thing to have your car recording your speed as you drive down the road so that it can tattle on you if you get in an accident. It's another thing if the car is actually pushing the brake pedal for you...

Forget cameras - spy device will cut drivers' speed by satellite

Comments:
Great.  Just when you're trying to accelerate to get out of a tight spot, the system would kill the power on you.  That can easily cause fatal accidents on many roads.

This scheme looks more like Big Brother in search of a problem than the reverse.  Sure, there are idiot drivers, but they aren't usually the fastest ones, they're the least attentive or most erratic.  Get your spy satellite system to detect that, and it might be worth something.
 
that really really sucks
