This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think cars and heavy vehicles should report overspeeding and other reckless behaviour to the traffic police.
I agree that does sound safe but I can't trust the cops with a record of everywhere I've been or some kind of tracking system.

I think a good compromise would be the car only reporting you if you cross the speed limit. But then, you'd have to take the manufacturer's word for it.
Sweet, I can still text as much as I want that way. Because speeding is the only issue, right?
Inb4 cars are required to jam phone signal when in use.
You're taking the manufacturer's word for it right now. They already have all the required components built in, GPS, antenna and computer.
I will not take any word for it. Nobody is going to want to a drive snitch car, let's be real.
