| I don't know where you live but city limits are very clearly defined in many places. Here for example, there are clear designations (that are reflected in a default speed limit too). I don't quite know what your (American?) suburbs look like, but in theory I don't see why not in this instance. And if you're concerned about, idk, people not being able to get to the hospital on time or what have you, make them opt-out on every single ignition. Most people will probably not be bothered to opt-out every single time. As for the technical points regarding GPS, lots of cars already read speed signs and come with various computer vision based safety features. Again, ebikes and escooters are already speed limited and geofenced. It's not perfect, but why aren't we so concerned about ebikes being slow and not being able to keep up with cars and subsequently be hit by them? Lastly - it doesn't have to come into full effect if you're at 120km/h. You can be smart about it, like not slowing you down but not letting you accelerate, easing you into the speed limit etc. There's a perception that cars are a fact of life and it's OK for them to be traveling at speed in cities, whereas the reality is that in most urban areas we simply cannot afford to keep this up any longer. |
