    1. As used in this article, “intelligent speed limiter system” means an integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits, to determine the speed limit, and electronically limits the speed of the vehicle to prevent the driver from exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour.

    Well looks like they pointed out the exact mechanism the bill proposes.

    They say it’s passive, but how do you keep the database synched? Actively. And since your car is already connecting to the government computers to actively get the database it’s not a stretch to assume a next step is monitoring car movements en masse.

    And what happens when the database isn’t updated in a timely way, or when a car loses GPS signal, or when you leave the state?
