Looking at the spec, ISA isn't just an alert system anymore — it's reached the stage where it can actively control acceleration.

Not mandatory yet, but this feels like where it's all heading eventually

Didn't realize ISA already ranges from alerts to actual throttle control

Cutting acceleration mid-overtake sounds more dangerous, not less

What happens when the map data's just wrong? Sounds dangerous
