Well, in about 15 years at least...
To get a licenced vehicle it will have to have a similar chip in it, pointing at the ground below the car 2 feet from the cars edge. The car will report the speed to you and the cops. No high speed chases, just a ticket or summons in your mail box, maybe it will even triggar an auto-funds-debit (no pun intended.) Forget self driving daydreams, the reason we like to drive is autonomy (again no pun.) Even futuristicly, self driving is a luxury add-on, that this chip might only make slightly less cost prohibitive for general production. As part of an Auto's BlackBox/Lojack system this would be a very, very ecconomical inclusion.
...At least 15 years in the USA to get all the juristictions on the same page. The way most people drive, this is like money in any Goverments bank that posts a speed limit.
Hmmm, I wonder how many snapshots a digital camera (or bank of cameras) would take in focus with this chip by its side? Entry ways, crowd scaning; can this chip be used in high speed facial reccognition systems?
