The first thought that comes to my mind is binding your state's whole traffic grid to a single stupid point of failure. If bound by GPS + some database of speed limits, a single update to the speed limit database could cause traffic to grind to a halt. If bound by road signs with onboard AI, lots of false positive incidents can occur. Would be trivial to paper over road signs as a prank, for example, changing a speed limit sign from 65 to 15 and then slowing interstate traffic to a crawl.
- stefan_ 3y agoYes, and clearly if an asteroid hits the world, we will not have to worry about speed limits at all! We should skip doing the work. As usual, don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. We have scooters that limit their speed in pedestrian zones and drones weighing 35g that will refuse to fly anywhere near airports. Yet cars that know perfectly well where they are can go 100mph in cities. It's not reasonable.
