I don't see any way they can exceed the speed limit right now - the legal liability alone would be huge. The best solution to the problems you're posing would be to adopt an German autobahn-like system.
- zaroth 13y agoWhat if it had a dial that I can set to (at least) +10mph on the highway It seems simple to give the user control of a 'speed adjustment factor', and hence transfer liability to the user. Should be no different from adaptive cruise control letting me pick a speed. Cruise control doesn't stop working at 100mph. Personal liability for operation of your automobile, regardless of the level of digital augmentation, must be very hard to relinquish. I mean, they are willing to take over steering the car, but oh no, they can't break the speed limit while doing it? More realistically, they don't break the speed limit because their error tolerances fall too much when they do.
