@MGJohn.
Most of the new BEV's from 2021 will have to have all manner of mandatory communicating hardware/software installed, VW are just putting the new V2X (vehicle to everything) chip in their new cars.
This will be in street furniture,traffic lights,intersections,roadsigns,speed cameras, it will be able to switch on traction control on wet roads automatically, warn you of red light traffic light jumpers, it can send out a message that is received by other vehicles in an 800 m radius to provide alerts to the driver before they arrive on the scene. Similarly, cars can receive hazard warnings such a car ahead braking suddenly, or motorcycles approaching from the opposite direction that let the driver know not to pass.
I should imagine they will only let said equipped cars on certain stretches of congested roads in the not too distant future
Want to go faster than the speed limit of a certain road! .........computer says no.
