Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 day agoThen 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.

In my town murder is perfectly fine. Every time someone tries to make a law changing that we just murder them. So murdering people is the only reasonable solution.
Btw you mentioned one of the deer and one of the car crashes. That means you are at least up to 4 on your body shop count. I once again have 0 wrecks.
You talk about shitty drivers but it’s you bro. You speed everywhere and keep getting in wrecks that’s are “totally not your fualt“
If you’re going to eat a hamburger eat the hell out of it
If you want to speed because you want to just say that. “Fuck you’re safety I’m in a hurry”
Don’t try to convince me it’s actually YOU who is the safe driver when you keep getting in wrecks.

Btw we aren’t going to waste our time pushing for more speed cameras lol we are going to sit and wait and gather our energy.
The moment self driving cars are safe enough we are going to ban human drivers entirely, because humans suck at driving cars.
That’s the future for you guys. You flat out refuse to drive safely so we just won’t let you drive at all.

Yeeees, another thing Tesla and Google can fully control in our lives! Hooray!

Naw. Too many people like driving, too many emergency situations that require a human. The most that will reasonably happen is people will prefer self-driving and driving test requirements will increase somewhat.

I highly doubt it’ll go smoothly. IMO what will happen is driving standards will rise, driving tests will become extremely tough and need to be repeated every few years, and self driving tech will get cheaper and most people will just summon cars like Waymo rather than bothering to remain liscensed. There will have to be an offramp, not a firm cutoff.
