Unless you move them around drivers will just slow down at the camera and then commence speeding. What works is strategically placed cameras that measure average speed over a distance. We have these a few places in Norway and most people stick to the speed limit or a bit below between the cameras.
- taeric 3y agoReading your first sentence, I immediately thought "this is easy to deal with using checkpointed cameras." And then I read the next part. Curious how well that works out, all told.
- cozzyd 3y agoit would also be relatively straightforward to require cars to self-report speeding (keep a speed/position log, have it be read out at annual inspection). There are some issues around tunnels and poor GPS geolocation in urban areas, but it would work great for things like highways...
- taeric 3y agoI had that exact thought as I was typing my post! :D That said, I can see many reasons that is not liked. Amusingly, as you add more and more detection systems to cars for stuff like this, you are backing into autonomous vehicles.
- cozzyd 3y agoDetecting out of spec driving is a much simpler (and cheaper to solve) problem than autonomous driving, and may have higher safety benefits? Yes there are privacy concerns but the same concerns exist with autonomous driving.
