i think its unsafe to not have control of ur car... bottom line.
what happens if u try to pass someone on a 2 lane highway and all of a sudden theres an oncoming car coming at you... you can't go any faster to get around the guy, slowing down to get back behind him might take to long.... bang ur dead before u could think of the solution....
where if u could just have control over ur car ud be past him and safe in no time...
dumest idea ever
You know what, I agree.... One aspect is, what if your riding side by side another car, he decides he wants to change lanes while talking on the phone, you dont have the option to brake because of rear traffic. Logical thing to do is speed up past that driver, but oh wait, the car can only go 40 MPH and you cant go over that. So now youve been in an accident!Originally Posted by nalav

Wow, just absolutely wow. It won't be too long before the dems in our country try to bring it here too...
Where is John Galt?
Did you guys not read the article?
It has two modes Advisory or Voluntary.
Advisory just advises you that you are speeding, very much like out navigation software unless you find the setting to shut her up (also known as wife mode)
Voluntary will actually limit your speed.
If you need to speed above that for any reason you switch to Advisory or just switch it off.
Obviously if they ever get fitted and only have a compulsory mode then what you are moaning about applies.
PS. I don't like the idea of them either.
isnt it "who is john galt?"

Yea it is, but I know who he is... I'm just looking for him now!
they want the voluntary mode to be the one they put in. Obviously being able to disable it down to advisory mode would just mean people will leave it in advisory mode. Plus during an emergency like the ones described above having an extra thing to do (press a button to allow u to speed up or whatever) isn't really an option. you dont wanna have to press a button plus avoid a collision is just adds more confusion.It is the voluntary mode, however, that safety campaigners hope will one day become mandatory.
Having the PC automatically slow you down when you enter a slower speed zone is just as dangerous as having the PC automatically speed you up when entering a faster speed zone.
Once the government decides that this is a power they can seize, there's no doubt they will seize it. And having the government control your driving is by far more dangerous to your life than jumping off of a cliff without a parachute, but that's what the dumb masses are crying for! Don't believe me? Take a look what happened with the invention of the seat belt and seat belt laws!
It's all in the name of 'safety'
Just give it time.
You're not seriously arguing that seatbelts don't save lives, are you? Also, I can't imagine that you're arguing against seatbelts being mandatory equipment.
Maybe you're arguing against a law that says you have to wear a seatbelt. I'd agree that it's kind of stupid to mandate something like that.
