The United Arab Emirates has just signed a deal with IBM - a four-year, $125 million deal which will essentially turn the entire country into a huge speed trap.
Next year, tens of thousands of vehicles will have a GPS-enabled "Smart Box" installed, which will issue the driver a warning whenever the local speed limit is exceeded. If the warning is ignored, the system would beam the car's speed, identity, and location to the police so that a ticket may be issued. The system would also monitor any other driving violations, such as "reckless behavior"
Is it unclear as to whether the device will be mandatory, but automated enforcement is not new in the UAE. They already have twenty speed cameras that have led to imprisonment for six traffic violators. Anyone want to move to Abu Dhabi?
Speeding fines aren't about law enforcement - they're about revenue. I don't know about other parts of the US, but on the Mass Pike (speed limit 65mph), the magic number is 80mph - drive 79 and you won't get stopped.
