Why don't we have a feature to brake or at least beep when tailgating? 2 car lengths at 80 mph is not ok.
- xnx 1y ago> 2 car lengths at 80 mph is not ok. Definitely. 2 seconds is OK, but 3 is better
- basisword 1y agoAll this would do is cause noise pollution. Have you never had the displeasure of riding with someone who will leave their seatbelt unplugged despite the annoying beeping?
- danielbln 1y agoPeople do this? I'd expect them to at least click the belt in and to sit on it. Personally I prefer to not die violently so I just strap in normally.
- thunky 1y agoYou could easily avoid the "noise pollution" by driving safely.
- basisword 1y agoHow can I make other people drive safely? I'm obviously not worried about myself, but about hundreds of others constantly triggering it and causing noise pollution.
- thunky 1y agoIt would only beep inside the car. So if other people are driving and it's beeping then they should drive better so they don't annoy their passengers (you). The point of the beep is to get the driver's attention so they slow down. Similar to rumble strips on the side of the highway.
- basisword 1y agoAh, I see. "Beep" is a alt term for using the horn where I am from. I was imagining constant honking from hundreds of cars. An internal warning makes much more sense.
