How would that work? Cell phones record your location as a side effect, because they can be seen by multiple cell towers.

But in this scheme, your car would record your location as the primary effect. You can still see multiple limiter poles. How do you know which one applies to you? You need to determine your location for that. (Unlike with cell phones, the pole with the strongest signal is not necessarily the one that applies to your position.)

If the limiter poles can receive as well as broadcast, they will also record your location, just like cell towers do. But even if they can't, it's necessary for the car to do so itself.
