something not noted, i want software that tells people theyre driving slow in the left lane and need to move over. People, including me speed, and having to swerve around slow drivers in the left lane increases the risk of driving.
we have "lane assist" which is great, but take it one step further to identify drivers in the wrong lane.
- cupofpython 4y agoThis is an enforcement issue. People need to get pulled over for blocking / hogging the passing lane. I believe New Jersey actually enforces it a bit. I was often warned to avoid the left lane because police would use passing lane laws as an excuse to target my out-of-state plates. Could have also been complete hearsay though
- throwaway0a5e 4y agoI'm not gonna hold my breath. We don't even pull over people for stopping at clover leafs (which is way more egregious and dangerous than being the slow guy in any given lane).
- cupofpython 4y agoyeah im pretty sure the cars will be driving themselves before we figure out how to enforce the road in ways that truly make sense
- drdunce 4y agoI think a lot of these measures lull people into a false sense of security and promote a habitual lack of attention. This means if they're going to be there they need to be bullet proof. I'd personally scrap lane assist. The attitude to driving now seems to be, press the go pedal and unless an alarm is sounding, I don't have to think. Something else will switch my wipers on and off, headlights, tell me if I'm out my lane, brake if someone is in front, beep when i'm about to hit a wall etc. so why look ...all until it doesn't or they encounter a situation there isn't a sensor for.
