Recently, British supercar maker McLaren has filed a patent application, aiming to implement GPS-based technology to restrict access to the vehicle’s "Track Driving Mode." Under this system, the mode would only be unlockable and operable in controlled environments, such as racetracks. This innovation involves continuous monitoring of the vehicle’s geographic coordinates via an integrated high-precision GPS module. By cross-referencing the vehicle’s location with preloaded geofencing data for major global racetracks stored in its onboard system, the technology uses a "permitted location whitelist" approach. This ensures that Track Mode cannot be activated outside designated venues. Moreover, the system is capable of identifying temporary racetracks, like street circuits that have been closed off for racing events. McLaren emphasized that engaging Track Mode lifts several safety constraints, significantly increasing the risk of losing vehicle control if used on public roads. This, in turn, could endanger both drivers and pedestrians.
