No one tells you when you buy the car all of the shit you are agreeing to. This needs to be changed.

This car doesn't let you drive over 80mph. It reads speed limit signs and has a database apparently. The owners manual says it will provide that data to law enforcement.

This is insane. There needs to be awareness of this so people can, at the very least, know to ask before they buy. As it stands no one even knows this shit until they sign the papers and look at the owners manual.

Thanks! I work for a car company, so I thought I'd share what I know. I was sad to see the negative votes. Your comment made my day. Thank you for taking the time to write it.

You're very welcome ❤️ I think understanding why things are the way they are is important if we want any agency over it, I always appreciate folks who share their material knowledge of a subject

Hope you have a good one man, take care :)
