      They don’t transmit the speed limit of the current road, and for things like construction they’ll need real-time updates.

      I’m certain they won’t want to push the entire database out to every vehicle for every update…

        I have a hard time believing it would be impossible to wire up a device that sends out a wireless signal with the local speed limit at every speed limit sign.

        Why does it need to go to a database for it instead of have a receiver on the vehicle itself to pull data as it passes speed limit signs?

        In fact, a centralized database would likely have more problems with not being accurate or current. Have you ever dealt with government databases?

        Edit: Part of the reason the database would be trash is because speed limits are set by cities, not by the state. So in the database scenario every time a city updates their speed limit, they have to document all the zones and upload them to the database. All it takes is paperwork getting backed up a week for that to cause problems.

            We got a tough guy here.

            EDIT: Also I’m fairly sure that destruction of government property is a felony and if it’s wired for this, it could easily be wired to take and send photos when tampered with, but you do you. I guess people do just hate infrastructure more than *checks notes… being spied on. Because when given an alternative without a database, they shit on it.
