A car can tell it's own speed, can know where it is, and can read speed limit signs. It's not rocket science.
I drove a rental car 10 years ago in the Netherlands that would beep when the GPS said I went over the speed limit.
This system can easily be implemented without needing a government spying program. You just need legislation, and enforcement.
Those systems are shit. I had one in a fleet truck and I had to explain to management why I was going 65 in a 45 mph zone. I was on the highway, but the GPS system placed me on the frontage road that runs next to the highway.
Now imagine if instead of an alert to the management it slowed my vehicle down suddenly. That's a problem on a busy highway.
Implementation and regulation are separate. It doesn't matter if the systems to implement it are shit, it's still the government's responsibility to put regulation in place on how the roads can be used.
If electric cars can't implement a system to keep them 10mph or lower under the speed limit, then they can't be sold in the state. And if they are sold in the state, they get fined, and if electric car drivers are found going more than 10 mph over the speed limit, they get a speeding ticket.
It's not a complicated system. There's no need to bring state wide fleet monitoring of every car on the road into this. It can be solved with much simpler systems, and more mature technology.
