40km/h over in a built-up area in Switzerland is not only an automatic fine and loss of license, it is automatic jail time with no judicial discretion. This is the equivalent of 45MPH in a city, for the American readers.

Some states have "super speeder" punishments similar to this, with mandatory jail time if you're over a certain speed (>100mph usually) or just over a certain amount over the speed limit (double the limit, or something).

Either way, none of those address the new problem of robotaxis. If any normal human did this type of thing, you could go scream at them or honk your horn enough for them to figure it out. If it isn't programmed into the robotaxis logic it won't do anything as shown. Or possibly do the wrong thing.

Yes, but there are a lot of "in-betweens":
