    See it regularly here, especially when the overpass is a regular road. Cars slamming on the brakes on the highway at an overpass isn’t great.

    Also concerned, and honestly expecting, this will be primarily applied to visibly ethnic groups (aka not white guy in a suit)

      It should be done to all cars as a safety feature like seat-belts. Cars are too heavy and they go too fast. Drivers kill 40,000+ people a year in the USA alone and send another 2,000,000 to the hospital with injuries. All new cars should have a speed restriction device on them and old cars should be retrofitted. A GPS module costs less than $50 and most cars already have an electronic control unit.
