Battery-powered scooters are heavily geofenced in the cities I've used them in. Ride down one street perfectly fine. Cross into an adjacent park, the brakes go on, the motor is disabled or limited, and an alarm might sound.

As a solution, it's maybe missing the resolution of 1m vs about 5m at the moment. This is exactly what's needed, but instead of limiting virtually harmless products like scooters, all cars should conform to geofences, especially in cities.

Rigorous geofence-based speed limiting in cities would save literally tens of thousands of lives per year, and the technology is easy, cheap, and already with us.

People don't crash because of speeding, people crash coz they drive like idiots

Ah yes, the "if only people behaved differently from how they've always behaved" school of limiting easily-preventable deaths.

In general speed limits are more constrained by limiting the consequences of the crashes that do happen, not limiting the number of crashes.
