Drive along the Monash FWY would be.....interesting - you get the whole spread - 40 to 100kmh and that's just between Pakenham and Hallam.

Trialing? It already exists and is being used in the real world.
Just last week a work car reported me for doing 80 in a 20 zone because the system misplaced the location of my vehicle by about 100m. |

no more premium unleaded, I'm parking in "Pram Only" zones and leaving 30 cm between it and the next car, turning off the reverse camera and parking sensors, going to touchless car washes so it won't get "massaged" by those lovely microfibre brushes and... letting my wife drive into cbd carparks... |

That tech will face significant barriers to entry into some states of Aus.
I can think of more then 300+ million reasons why Vic alone would prefer speed cameras... |

What about the equivalent of a pit lane speed limiter button that you can press to keep you under 40kmh when in a school zone?

The monitoring behind this will apply to all Ford company lease vehicles so Ford will know if you are speeding in a lease vehicle.
I assume they are doing this to preserve their brand image. Don’t want people speeding or driving dangerously in company lease cars. It’s part of the Sync telemetry that is available for cars that have the embedded modem. Ford offers this already on their Ford Transit fleets to customers.

this is old tech we've had similar tech in our trucks for about 4 years called E Road geo fenced to all speed boundaries , real pain in the a$$ especially with the latest trend of changing speed limits its all coupled with eye sensors that if you close your eyes for more than 1.5 seconds notifies someone in the states who looks at the footage to see wether your yawning or nodding off the seat shakes to wake you up after 1.5 if the American deems you have problems staying awake he rings your boss
And they wonder why they cant get any drivers.....4 have left to do the same thing in Oz for $50 bucks an hr in the last couple of mths

We have geofencing at work for the forks where you enter a buildings it restricts your speed, gps are never accurate as sometimes you are restricted outside at times due to this.
Now imagine in the real world when driving on roads and one such example you are overtaking and geofencing kicks in accidently, hasta vista baby! |

I heard a radio new bulletin.
The EU is mandating cars observe speed limits And if not Audible alarm Vibrating steering wheel Accelerators kicks back at you The end of driving as we know it I guess it may stop mum s in their humongous suvs tailgating maybe maybe not |
