I don't know why we spend so much time and resources on speeding when it is not the biggest issue facing the motoring public.

- gwill 3y agothis should allow for fewer net resources to be used to combat speeding thanks to automation. police can be used elsewhere.

However, speeding does have a significant impact on the severity of the accidents, making it an important issue. A little bit of speeding can be the difference between a fatal and non-fatal accident. Speeding is estimated to cause 30,000 deaths a year in the US. https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/speedmgt/ref_mats/fhwasa1304/Resources3/08%20-%20The%20Relation%20Between%20Speed%20and%20Crashes.pdf https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/speedmgt/ref_mats/fhwasa1304/Res...
