The draft bill [1] appears to require GPS, yes:
> Article 19. Speed Limiter Technology
> 28170. 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.

- mint2 3y agoWhile it sounds nice, gps jitter will cause a lot of issues unless it just defaults to the highest speed in a couple block radius
- imoverclocked 3y agoGood thing GPS spoofing is so hard to do (heavy sarcasm) Also, good thing GPS spoofing doesn’t happen regularly in California (also sarcasm) Also, good thing that GPS works flawlessly in canyons, underpasses, tunnels, etc… (if it’s not yet obvious, is sarcasm too) This feels like an “idea man” level concept.
- a_t48 3y agoThis would not work well for my car right now - the GPS sometimes decides it's a few blocks to the right on the surface streets instead of on the highway. :')
- shiroiuma 3y agoI think the legislators who thought this was a great idea should be required to trial the technology. If their car suddenly brakes on the freeway, causing a massive crash, they should be personally liable and also charged with reckless driving or worse.
