How to limit speed with BMW JSDK on 116i programmatically from Java?

I'm experimenting with the BMW Java SDK on the ne开发者_StackOverflow社区w BMW 116i Innovation Package. Basic things like turning the lights on and off, starting and stopping the motor work fine. What I'm trying to do now is that to write a carlet which would limit the speed to the maximum configured in the driver profile. Driver identity will be detected as usual via RFID reader.

My problem is that though I can read the speed from the tachometer, I can't really limit the speed. Here's what I've got working so far:

public class SpeenControllingCarlet extends GenericCarlet {

    public void start(final VehicleModel model) throws CarletException {
        RfidReader rfidReader = (RfidReader) model
                .getDevice(Devices.DRIVER_RFID_READER);
        Rfid rfid = rfidReader.getRfid();
        DriverProfile driverProfile = model.getDriverProfileRegistry()
                .getDriverProfile(rfid.toString());
        if (driverProfile == null) {
            return;
        }
        final Double maxAllowedSpeed = Double.valueOf(driverProfile
                .getCustomAttribute("maxAllowedSpeed", "190"));
        Tachometer tachometer = (Tachometer) mode.getDevice(Devices.TACHOMETER);
        tachometer.addSpeedListener(new SpeedListener() {
            public void onSpeedChanged(SpeedChangedEvent speedChangedEvent) {
                if (speedChangedEvent.getCurrentSpeed() > maxAllowedSpeed)
                {
                    Horn horn = (Horn) mode.getDevice(Devices.HORN);
                    horn.beep(440, 2000);
                }

            }
        });
    }
}

This will just beep for two seconds if the driver goes faster than the driver profile allows.

My question is - is there a possibility to actually limit the speed (not just silly beeping)?

How do you slow down using the imperfect human? You brake! Same with BMW SDK:

Brake brake = (Brake) mode.getDevice(Devices.BRAKE);
brake.apply(Brake.TO_THE_METAL);

Wrench wrench = (Wrench) Toolkit.getToolkit().get(Instruments.WRENCH);
wrench.hit(driver);

I think (and hope) that this is very likely not possible, and the reasons are that car manufacturers would be in a lot of legal trouble if they allowed "non-core" gadgets like a JVM built into the entertainment/navigation system to interfere with the motor or steering controls. That is a much worse security risk than your average browser exploit.

Fly-by-wire cars are scary enough as it is without end-user/hacker accessible parts.

Your big problem is that you're not taking the current gear ratio into account when you get the engine speed. You're looking at a speed of like 190, while the tach is going to return somewhere between 700 and 7000. You need a function that takes engine RPMs, gear ratio, and tire diameter, and returns actual speed.

Or you could get the car's speed from the speedometer or GPS.
