I'm not sure I see the problem with speed limiters as long as the technology works properly and makes roads safer and the environment cleaner.

And there's the problem right there - it's not reliable enough just now given that people have posted above where their cars think the limit is either 80mph (impossible in the UK) or 15mph on a motorway (dangerous!), especially once adherence to the limit is imposed on the driver at all times.ChangoMutney wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 11:41 am I'm not sure I see the problem with speed limiters as long as the technology works properly...
Whereas that's clearly the aim, and a noble one at that as it will inevitably lead to less deaths on the roads, and that has to be a good thing.ChangoMutney wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 11:41 am ... and makes roads safer and the environment cleaner.
My issue is that the technology has to be sorted a lot more before the regulation comes in. Forcing the issue with the regulation isn't the way to go, but then we may get no choice in the matter. Even leaving the EU won't save us from this EU regulation.

I don't disagree with anything you've written. My caveat was that as long as the technology works properly. I'm not in favour of wholesale adoption before the technology is ready.

If you think about it though- it’s a stepping stone to fully automated vehicle-acceptance in Europe. Problematic signs / areas will be found, reported, highlighted and eventually ironed out prior to full autonomous driving.

Agree Goaty. Just be pleased that going 5% over the speed limit, the car does not auto report you yet.
