News: TfL to test GPS enforced speed limits

pocketgpsworld.com Thanks to an eagle eyed reader for the heads-up on this news story which comes courtesy of Gizmodo.

Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) is a project investigating the possibility of limiting the speed of vehicles to the posted speed limit. There are a number of methods being investigated and GPS is being utilised to facilitate the location awareness aspects.

Now Transport for London (TfL) has developed a road map that contains all the posted speed limits in their area and are testing it with GPS systems. Currently it will warn you when you are exceeding a posted speed limit, a useful service and to be welcomed BUT, they are about to test a system that will prevent you from exceeding the speed limit by taking control of the throttle. There are a great many reasons why the loss of control by the driver over speed is a bad thing, big brother or big mother?
