Consumer gps doesn't always know which road one is on and could trivially decide to use an adjacent street with a wildly different speed.

It's also sometimes unclear about where transitions happen.

It also never accounts for actual speed of travel diverging substantially because citizens including Police have collectively decided that a different speed is more reasonable.

Basically such a system would probably be completely useless enough to ruin all cruise control.
