SPEED BY DECREE: London's GPS-based speed-limit trial puts Big Brother's foot on the gas pedal

摘要

A FLEET OF 12 TOYOTA PRIUSES IN London have been fitted with GPS-linked speed limiters to measure how drivers respond to having their speed controlled by a computer rather than their own feet. For now, the trial is local to London, run by Transport for London, the agency that manages the city's roads, buses, subways and trains. The agency is using its own fleet of Priuses for the test and will add a bus and a taxi later this year.
