Because it won't apply to every vehicle on the road! There will be exceptions, and then even more exceptions, and then you will wonder why the inequality on the roads... Some people are more equal than others.
- shadowgovt 2y agoSome people already are. We could have that inequality and a safer road at the same time as opposed to just the inequality. As it stands right now, those who should be trusted the least are the least monitored.
- M95D 2y agoIn my country, if there's someone speeding, then I can safely follow him/her a couple hundred meters behind with the same speed. If there's police on the road, he/she will get stopped and get a ticket (or not, if he's "more equal") and I have the time to slow down. We're equal. If the car gives my location and speed, only those people will be able to break the law and I won't. More inequality than now.
- shadowgovt 2y agoWhy can they speed and you can't? ... oh, are you assuming their car will be allowed on the road without the tools to properly track it? I was assuming that as those tools become cheap they become mandatory to operate on public roads (i.e. toll roads or passive highway traffic monitors can serve as checkpoints: scan car transponders and license plates, match them up, identify vehicles on the road without transponders, flag them for intercept by police. Or, easier: transponder functionality is an inspection requirement and if your transponder is out, you don't pass inspection and you can't legally operate on public roads).
