Really not keen on this idea! **Onboard computers could essentially override the driver, imposing maximum speeds on the vehicle by controlling the brakes and the engine.** "Sensors in cars and on the roads monitor the build-up of congestion and wirelessly send this information to a central traffic control system, which automatically imposes variable speed limits that smooth the flow of traffic," Ofcom said. "This system could also communicate directly with cars, directing them along diverted routes to avoid the congestion and even managing their speed."
