This is a weird one. I speed, and so does everyone else, but nobody has the right to speed, and I cant say it necessarily would be bad to have more speeding restrictions. Im sure it would be just as abused as any other part of the law and justice system but I dont find it inherently unappealing.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Speeders are assholes that put everyone in danger.

Get fucked if you speed. I lost several family members because of pricks like you and I even wound up hospitalized from it. Eat shit and piss off. Asswipes like you fucks don’t need a drivers license since you don’t know how to drive.

Usually the answer is “uncontrolled access” I.e. it has driveways and such, and not on and off ramps

Our roads are designed to make us think we can go faster than we should and localities have an incentive to keep speed limits arbitrarily low to increase fines from speeders.

Which is it? If speed limits are arbitrarily low then you can go faster. The fact that most people speed and the roads aren’t consistently littered with accidents seems to support that.

We’ve had the technology for a long time. And speeding really is a contributing factor to motor vehicle accidents and fatalities. If we’re going to have a society that requires being in cars then we need to be a society with severe rules for putting the rest of us in mortal danger.

Make it automatic then, why report a crime when you can limit the speed. Cut out the middle man, also defund the police.

It looks like this system is designed to snitch on the other cars around the snitch car, rather than the snitch car itself.

Interesting. The article suggests the car would photograph others speeding rather than reporting itself.

Personally, I don’t mind speeders so much except when they’re weaving between traffic recklessly. I do really hate tailgaters though. So a rear-facing camera maybe?

I hate speeders, i almost got shot off the road yesterday by a guy going at least 120kmh in an 80kmh zone. But trusting someone like let’s say ford to take care of that… Oh nonono

I hear you. But I can’t agree to what’s basically spying on everyone just for that. You know it would escalate into more mundane things once it’s there.

Exactly

Why not just have a speed cap on cars?

Edit : I see I got a few dislikes. I was actually genuinely curious. Thanks for the answers!

And have it auto adjust based on the roads limit. We have gps and data for every road. Driving is a privilege not a right, nobody has the right to speed faster than the posted limit.

I’ll stop speeding when the mfs around here stop building 6 lane roads with a 30mph speed limit.

No speed cap yet, but all new cars sold in the EU must have a signal that alerts the driver if they’re driving faster than the current speed limit.

Because it’s dangerous. Sometimes you have to exceed the speed limit to avoid a collision.
