Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

safety.
system components fail, debris winds up on a path, etc.
100 mph crash is just way less survivable. stopping distance is a function of speed. speed limits are also for human passengers.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
