My only hesitation with this if there is a life saving reason to go faster.
Maybe a simpler solution is to just send notifications when the car exceeds certain limits?

- jerlam 2y agoSometimes it is better for kids (and adults) to make mistakes and get the proper punishment, than to prevent them from making mistakes at all. It gets a little greyer when the mistake can lead to death or permanent injury though.
- xattt 2y agoA delta-V limit would be “constant” in that the teenager would build it into their mental model of how a car drives, and take it into account if/when exceptional circumstances do occur. The greater risk comes from the car spinning out of control from a standstill because of enthusiastic acceleration. As for safety, it’s not often we need to outrun a pyroclastic cloud/tornado/airplane crashing into your path.
