I guarantee you the safety win from everybody being 10mph slower is gonna be order of magnitudes bigger than whatever hypothetical you could use 10mph more, statistically
i would never trust a car manufacturer's software that's designed to brick itself to not fuck up when someone's doing 60 on a motorway tbh
You're gonna run out of options soon enough here, modern cars already have things of this nature in them because they don't work without a load of software helping you out and many won't start if they think something is wrong, roll-over prevention on larger vehicles for example. Sometimes even down to stuff like tyre pressure sensors.
It's not like I don't see your point here in some way, but that's not a problem specific to speed limiters and if you draw the line there you'd have to reinvent the whole approach to it anyways. God knows I'm not opposed to it.
yeah but like what if limiters were a thing?
