YACT: New tech might limit speed of your car for you

[BurnItDwn]

They are going about this totally the wrong way.
WE NEED FLYING CARS AND TELEPORTERS.
Three dimensions of traffic = less congestion.

Also, I would like one of those magic microwave looking things like in fifth element that makes the good chicken. Unless I cook my chicken outside on the grill covered in bacon at a low temperature of a long long long time, my chicken always comes out dry.

Time to get miatas so I can have fun at lower speeds

I agree with your ideals, mooglekit. I'd love to have no speed limits since there are no car accidents. I'd love to be able to watch TV or read a book on my commute WITHOUT resorting to public transportation. Seems just wonderful to me.

Sadly, all these "driving" fanatics will postpone the fast, fun commute as long as possible. They much perfer slow, stressful commutes.

amazing,
that's gonna be really safe in tight sports - say you're trying to pass a slow vehicle and your car decides that you can only pass it doing the limit.

I kinda want that to happen to me, but at like 5 mph. Then i can sue the car makers/company of the device and get my millions of dollars.
/sarcasm

Yes I hate this stupid new innovation.

I have a governor at 122mph - that's already too much "speed limiting" for me.

Too bad your car will never go fast enough to hit that limit.

don't be so sure. i've bounced off the limiter at triple digit speeds in loaded minivans, and would have gladly gone right past it. i'm not talking about a short burst, either, but sustained cruising. in a normal car, anything less than the german 155 MPH limiter is no good.

Specop's just a Honda Hater. He knows that the spoiler, body kit, and undercar neons make my Civic m4d f@$t y0.
