Thanks to people noting that this is already happening to some degree in Europe/UK (didn't even stop to consider what was happening there already, gotta widen my world view). What I'm worried is having it just be instant. Some regulation that requires speed-checkers in every car built, and reporting to find out any time your car goes over the speed limit, regardless if there's a camera in sight. But maybe driver-less cars will come first, and manual driving itself will be outlawed (or made prohibitively expensive). It's a balance -- it would seem to me that speed traps are stunningly effective at protecting a given intersections (if people have been speeding through it too much), but the logic applies pretty much everywhere, just waiting for someone to try and apply it. This is going to prompt some interesting soul searching from the populace. Yeah, you want the speed limit to be 35 (for the kids, of course), but now that you get penalized instantly when you break the rule you agreed on, the fine won't be so enjoyable. Or, laws will pass as they normally do without the majority of the populace thinking, caring, or getting a say.
