Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

    Yeah for sure, it’s called motorsport…

      If you think that’s a satisfactory replacement for the average person you don’t know much about motorsports. The costs alone are outside the reach of most people.

        Yep, driving will probably eventually become just another thing most people can’t enjoy…

        I think that’s a very long way off though, and will just be another symptom of unrestrained capitalism.

          Only if we value safety and convenience over freedom.

          Personally, I’ll take the freedom.

            Me too, but people who don’t need to learn to drive often don’t realise how enjoyable it can be, and over time I think that number will gradually increase.
