Nobody is disputing that faster speeds on impact are more deadly.
But what thought has been given to automatically restricting the speed of a car?
If I cross from a 55 to 25 MPH, is it up to the automaker on whether it gradually slows? Brake checks?
Should that mean speed limit zones should also be a gradual change?
What happens when the system mistakes a highway for local? Should it be local only? How often is it error prone?
Where’s your data for any of that?
Poorly thought-out legislation will be worse than what we have now.
- acdha 3y agoYes, competent implementation is important as everywhere else but none of that is the topic of this thread, which started when someone imaginatively claimed that this would be “a big problem in situations that arguably warrant speeding” but could provide no data or even personal experience to support the idea that people are regularly evading pursuit or racing to the ER with a critically ill patient.
