the day is coming where intelligent vehicles check themselves for
speeding and call in the report to the police that send you a ticket.

you were on X road the speed limit is 55, you were doing 75. pay this
150 buck ticket congrats no points if paid promptly.

tampering with the device will render the vehicle undrivable.

its for our safety

While I do not like the idea , it would be good if they could be set so that
if you are going over say 80 to 90 mph they would shut down the car and
would need a reset to get them going again. *Should cut down some of the
high speed chases.

If you want to wish for that, why would it have to shut the
car down? You could just wish for a car that won't go
over 80 mph to begin with. And don't know what's so
special about high speed chases over 80mph. If they are
going 80 or 100, not much difference in my book and
I'm not sure there are that many that go much faster
than that. The real problem is that any of these
chases can be deadily for innocent bystanders.
The simpler solution is to not have police
continue to chase someone who is fleeing a routine
traffic stop. That's where most of these chases originate
from.
