Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.
Bold of you to assume hackers don’t exist
If every car was self driving, traffic wouldn’t slow down and you’d get places quicker at much safer speeds.
I’m not one to advocate for cars of any kind, but I sure don’t care about the particular speed when I’m lost in the sauce listening to music or reading on the train
Does it bother you if the driver is driving slowly when you’re a passenger though? I don’t think most people will care that much if thier self driving car follows the speed limit.
This is true, but I think the bigger deal is that some people actually like driving (maybe not the trafficky daily commute). Some speeders fit this category, but also others who just like being precise on the curves, being in the flow of an uncrowded road, and even expressing their neighborliness to others.
So far, self driving cars drive very clumsily even when they are safe. More scope for embarrassment and frustration than anything else if you identify with the behavior of your car. “Chill mode” for example, chooses the right of a four lane road until the last minute instead of making lane changes when space allows. Awful.
But even if the cars get better at it, some people will miss driving.
If you think that’s a satisfactory replacement for the average person you don’t know much about motorsports. The costs alone are outside the reach of most people.
I don’t think the people who want to speed are the kind of people I want driving anyway.
Admitting you want to bypass the rules should be a red flag and imo warrant an immediate cancellation of your permit. You’re driving a thousand kilos of metal at bone shattering speeds, if you can’t be trusted to be responsible, don’t drive. (And it’s a general you, not you OP)
