... up and most black women are with kids and depend on public assistants. If you would look closely at black communities, you will see that most of men are selling drugs, while women are raising their kids. Their cars, for example, will have dents, beatten up.

... a flat road Good point. Let's look at the error. On a 1:3 hill (probably the steepest to be encountered), the angle will be arctan(1/3) = 18 degrees. For a hypotenuse of 1 unit (the true distance that the car travels), the horizontal distance that the GPS senses will be cos(18 degrees) = 0.95 So the GPS will read 95%% of the true speed and the error will be (1-0.95)/1 = 5%%. I suppose a really clever GPS could ...
