But cars kill tens of thousands every year. Speed limits and red lights being on the honor system isn't working. Luckily technology, like the little GPS tracker in the article, can fix it.
I am happy with our current government.
But reading history I have realized that the scariest thing that is is powerful governments.
Honor and trust work extremely well: anyone of us can create enormous caos if we want to but most of us don't so it doesn't happen.
Now what are your specific fears about speed limiters on cars?
So the outrage and over-reactive legislation put on electric bicycles or electric scooters is quite insane in comparison. Max 15 mph on an electric bike, no limits on a car in the city..
You're not supposed to run red lights or exceed the speed limit. This should be enforced electronically. The machines are unbiased and more accurate than cops. Cheaper too.
Speak for yourself. I don't need a nanny monitor in my car to drive safely. Nor do the vast majority of drivers. There are about 150 billion cars in the world. Only a very tiny fraction of them kill people. And punishing all the people who do drive responsibly because of the mistakes of the tiny fraction of drivers who don't is getting things backwards. The consequences should be on the people who do kill others with their cars, not on the people who don't.
This is wrong by ~100x.
"There are about 1.475 billion vehicles on Earth in 2024.": https://hedgescompany.com/blog/2021/06/how-many-cars-are-the...
Absolutely. It's the first thing we fix on our 2-wheel transpos.
