- pfisch 4y agoAre you describing speed limits on roads?
- triceratops 4y agoCars run on public roads. On the other hand if you said that only speed-limited cars are allowed on your property, you would be entirely in the right.
- sixstringtheory 4y agoHyperbole aside, I've ridden in supercars that are equipped with speed limiters in order to be able to drive on public roads legally in the US.
- silisili 4y agoWhat law prevents fast cars in the US? The Tesla roadster claims 250MPH, and there are others street legal up to 300 afaik.
- sixstringtheory 4y agoI must have misremembered, it looks like the cars came from the factory with speed limiters installed. Sorry for the mixup but this actually is a good point to consider, this is a platform moderating as it sees fit, according to their observations on when handling becomes less capable at speed. What Florida wants to do is the equivalent of telling carmakers they cannot put speed limiters on their cars, putting more people in danger. If I want my children to have speed limiters in the cars they drive, well, guess I’d be out of luck! It goes the other way too: it could also be used to force all carmakers to install speed limiters, and never let people even race at a track. As the original commenter I replied to tried to use as a point against the idea. The problem with the way they framed it is they tried to make it seem like allowing platforms to moderate as they see fit removes everyone’s choice, which is the opposite of the outcome.
