Even before AI was in the mix, local governments were pulling crap like shortening yellow light timers to less than their own laws require for safety. And fine citizens (or habitual yellow-light runners) did the leg work to catch this crap. We've always had to be on our guard. That isn't a new phenomena.

    1. Because the average American believes speed limits aren't meant for the especially skilled drivers like themselves.

    2. If the speed limit is raised, then people will drive 10-15 MPH over the new limit. Natch.

    3. Traffic enforcement cameras have been routinely abused by the government and so have to be regularly taken away from them like the naughty children they are.

    4. People will assure you that civil planning has done their job and everything is already working like a well-oiled machine. I don't know why people keep saying this when it's obviously not true. It's astounding.
