They do have GPS, and the police are able to track these.

Automatic speeding tickets seem to be beyond the pale everywhere, they are trivial to implement on toll roads and yet do not happen.

I think there is a good to great chance they are used for per mile taxation in CA, and either mandated for new electric vehicles or encouraged through hassling regulations if you don’t.

I thought automatic speeding tickets are already implemented in Australia.

You’re right, and I’m out of the loop having spent too much time on the West Coast, looks like they are in use in the US as well.
