Yes please. Far too many people are killed due to the fact people think they're driving on a race track, people only stop to think of the consequences after they've disabled or killed someone and it needs to end. In my city here in Australia we have 40km enforced school zones where children are crossing, this only comes into effect a couple of hours in the morning and afternoon on school days. It would be interesting to see how this system could adapt to variable speed conditions such as school zones without becoming annoying and causing motorists to always disable the speed limiting mode thus rendering the feature pointless. I really like this idea though. It definitely should be rolled out everywhere and be a standard feature going forward. If such a feature means you can get lower insurance premiums, I would be all for having this feature enabled if my car supported it.

i imagine some sort of circadian rhythm based around regional import/export. If autonomous vehicles become the order of the day, there will be much less 'road access'. in terms of insurance, if the roads become phone lines and the vehicles signal, your trips would make you money should the system make you late or hurt you. if people could swallow a "transparent car tax" the companies that bid to solve infrastructure problems and maintain the System would be on the hook for errors. the point of personal vehicles is commerce stimulus IMO and it is a money sink that profits very few and hurts a cluckton of others. I know people profit from mobility but cars do not create opportunity, they just expose it. It is like a huge water slide that you pay to use after you buy a tube and a water tank and some weird squirting device that wets the slide for you and a couple stickers to prove you bought them all. if i have to pay for a tube, i prefer the lazy river.
