The reality is that fines are an important source of revenue at every level of government in America. They are a politically acceptable alternative to raising taxes.
I sometimes think about what government will do when autonomous cars take away a key revenue source and decided that it will invent new problems to fine. Taxation is avoided at all costs.
- colejohnson66 6y agoI’ve wondered that too. What’ll happen to speeding tickets when every car is autonomous/self-driving and could just be programmed to not go over the limit? In theory, we could go one step further and remove speed limits from autonomous-only roads as the cars would be smart enough (in theory) to know what speed and distance is safe. But that last part is a pipe dream it seems.
