probably gps based system

I agree, it would be a nightmare hacking into the cars wiring and on many cars it may have warranty implications

good point, but you can't get sps signal everywhere

good point, but you can't get sps signal everywhere

If i use my kindle as an example, it does, GPRS, edge, 3g, wi-fi, HSPA and HSDPA, (i think) and it swaps between whichever signal is strongest or available. So, most people would not be of the grid for very long and even then the time you left and came back compared to the distance covered would tell a lot about speed. And! how would you know if you were 'on-signal' or not :nenau

I assume they are, to a degree, like the emperors new clothes, and go faster stripes. They work because you believe in them. How much the really do is anyone's guess. :nenau
