Well, I agree with you about the dynamic governor. And I think that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Not only could it potentially reduce fatal accidents, but it also discourages people from driving in urban areas. The case you mentioned with the highway, well, I think a highway has no business being anywhere near where people have to be. Besides, the I'm sure the tech exists when it comes to guiding missiles or some other military atrocity, why can't we use tech to actually protect people for a change?
The lack of will is disappointing, but not surprising at all.
I agree that highways have no business being close to city centers. However, the edge case I described could cause a pileup. That sort of disregard would be gross negligence of something that's supposed to improve safety. The first time that happened, there would be such intense backlash and rollback that the idea would be shelved forever.
Sure, that’s something that would need to be tested before it was enforced. But it’s not beyond our capabilities; we’ve made more complex things happen for much more frivolous reasons.
