...so lets do that? Your toy drone from Amazon can't fly near an airport, why would your 50k car accelerate past the limit in a city.

My 50K car sometimes decides while driving down the freeway that it is in fact on the street next to the freeway, and should be going 25mph. Maybe we should wait a little bit on trying to use bleeding edge technology to force cars to drive a certain way.

There is nothing bleeding edge about GPS geo-fences and limiters.

There certainly is if you're talking about knowing the difference between lanes, or between an elevated section or the surface street below, or any number of other things that affect the speed designation of the roadway.
