Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
It reminds me of a Top Gear (pretty sure...it wasnt Grand Tour?) anyways, Clarkson goes to Japan to test drive the Nissan GTR and its built-in GPS system limits the car's speed and power while it detects that its on public roads, but once you drive it to a track the system de-activates to allow you full access to the power.
And then once you drive it off the track the limiter kicks in again.
I thought that was a fairly elegant system.
I think that was 15 years ago. Surely we could have come up with something similar if not better in that time.
