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

Yep, driving will probably eventually become just another thing most people can’t enjoy…

I think that’s a very long way off though, and will just be another symptom of unrestrained capitalism.

Only if we value safety and convenience over freedom.

Personally, I’ll take the freedom.

Me too, but people who don’t need to learn to drive often don’t realise how enjoyable it can be, and over time I think that number will gradually increase.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
