The NHSTA is suggesting that all new cars broadcast location, direction, and speed to whomever wants to collect the data. Swell. The first people asking for the data will be local police who can use it to write the tickets electronically.
Just think, with all the paperwork taken care of by a server at city hall, the cost of writing a ticket and sending it out will descend to the point that even the most minimal offense will become cost-effective.
The counter to this will be the self-driving car which by its nature will never violate any speed law. All the more reason for municipal governments to oppose the things on "safety" grounds. The hit to municipal revenue would be catastrophic.
