Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

And I’ve got a question for you: it’s rush hour and everyone is doing 70 in a 55. How do you enforce this? Pull everyone over?

“Pull everyone over “
I love how you phrase that like it’s some ridiculous impossibility lol.
Speed cameras. Send them all a ticket.
“Bad road design is a different problem”
Yeah just like crashing is a different problem lol.

Then why haven’t they put speed cameras everywhere?
Because a local government wouldn’t last an election cycle if they did that.

lol do you really think that’s some kind of rebuttal?
Let’s break it down. Essentially:
“We can’t ticket everyone”
“Yes we can”
“But we don’t like to get tickets so we vote against tickets. Therefore you can’t do the reasonable things leaving our solution of speeding as the only option! so check and mate!”
It’s impossible because you want to keep it impossible, so you can say it’s impossible, so your idea of just speeding all the time is the only way.

If you can find an electorate who’d be okay with this you might have a point.
Those cameras would come down in like a month, what few a local government could afford to put up, anyway.
They could do this easily on major highways and yet they haven’t yet, precisely because the local government knows it would be electoral suicide.
A better solution would be pace cars that drive the speed limit with big gates so nobody can go around them. Then people literally can’t speed.
