> It's not the place of the government to put limits like these on devices just because they want to avoid having to commit to behavioral change through enforcement and penalty. I mean... That kind of _is_ half of their jobs, isn't it? Dictionary definition of the word "regulation": Rules made by a government or other authority in _order to control the way something is done_ or the way people behave. Note: Not that I necessarily agree with a gps based speed limit facility. My car displays posted speed limits on the dashboard, and it frequently shows the wrong one, from a nearby surface road or who knows what -- a nice feature but more than occasionally wrong. I do think things like top speed governors make sense though (eg. no need for street legal vehicles to go over 100mph public roads instance).
