Here is a hot topic
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/road-safety/10278702/EU-plans-to-fit-all-cars-with-speed-limiters.html
"Under the proposals new cars would be fitted with cameras that could read road speed limit signs and
automatically apply the brakes when this is exceeded
."
So there will be a lot of worn brakes out there

Would make passing on 2 lane roads "interesting"
I think our politicians are pretty lame and then I read about what some of the EU idiots get up to!

How long before some clever guy makes the car equivalent of Google glass that lets the camera only see signs with 140 Km/H on them...about a week I'd guess.

New cars.
Owning a 19yr old car that's not even OBD-II seems smarter every day...
