Le Mans prototypes are using track position to control the hybrid releases.
Absolutely could do it for DRS.

Seems like with all the cars GPS'd out, there should be an automatic feature that only allows DRS to be deployed within the designated DRS zone on straightaways. I mean, they use some form of GPS to determine if the trailing car is more or less than a second behind the car in front (to enable DRS in the trailing car). They use that same feature to allow the trailing driver only to deploy DRS once they hit the DRs zone. How hard is it to use that same technology to close DRS at the end of the DRS zone, which would only be on straightaways and not in corners. I can't believe no one in all of F1 realized using DRS in a corner would be a problem.
