Your post reminds me of the scene in Idiocracy with the vacuum that keeps saying, "your floor is now clean"and it keeps repeating it as it rams into the wall.

Gee - wont it be fun driving along, obeyign the speed limit, and then having your car speed up with no input from you, and then a week later get a speeding ticket? IF they can control the top speed- they can manipulate your speed at will- both up and down-

“CELLPHONES.”
That is certainly a factor, but not the only one. Education, entertainment, and general cultural issues are also involved.

“Until the GPS is hacked and the Speed Limit is set to 120 MPH through a school zone. WEEEEEEEEE!”
There is a school zone that I occasionally pass through when I’m going to Helena or Great Falls, MT — the yellow lights blink when children may be present (before and after school). It becomes a 55 MPH zone!

I’m convinced truckers do this crap (riding side by side) to piss off all other drivers

If the fascists in government have their way, they will be able to turn off your car remotely, limit its speed, force it to go to the gestapo police station, and prevent you from driving during "climate emergencies."

Every little pissbag town in America that depends on robbing travelers for their budgets will oppose this idea.

Ever had a dream where you can’t run fast, just slow, so you are unable to get away. Klaus had that dream for us and now it is true.

As a software architect in the automotive industry, I’ve been waiting for this. Several years ago, I rented a car in Germany, the damn thing beeped every time I went over the speed limit....I thought, “ah....great, we’re just one software update away from the car refusing to go over it”.
...emergencies or other circumstances be damned.

I remember staff cars in the military 1966-1969 had special governors on them. All the drivers knew how to bypass them if the officer was in a hurry.
