    I would 100% support electronic speed limiters and acceleration limiters on public roads.

        There are probably 1000x more situations where you accelerate into a crash, rather than out of one. Slow cars are safe cars.

      if that was the law how would you enforce it in any meaningful way? People would overide/not have them.

      Well we’d just force them! How!!?! Mechanically minded people mod cars everyday. Then police would have more reason to F with everyone at their pleasure. You would for sure need more surveillance from the state. Probably need more expensive proprietary anti-consumer tech inside the car you own.

      Do you know why I pulled you over? Your car transponder isn’t transmitting properly.

      Do you see what you want unleashed?

        Through the OEM. Wouldn’t be hard to create a system that tracks location locally using GPS and electronically applies an according speed limit from a govt database

        Acceleration is a simple matter of distance/time/time.

        Mechanically minded people mod cars everyday.

        People break all sorts of laws every day. It doesn’t mean you don’t bother making them.

        Then police would have more reason to F with everyone at their pleasure.

        Actually they’d have less, considering cars would be physically incapable of speeding.

        You would for sure need more surveillance from the state. Probably need more expensive proprietary anti-consumer tech inside the car you own.

        …for what?
