Doesn't it seem like some laws were just made to be broken? Most new cars will easily exceed any speed limit in the United States. Does anyone really drive the speed limit as they weave through their neighborhood. If car makes and municipalities really wanted to keep drivers from breaking the speed limit laws, the technology required probably wouldn't be that difficult. First start with the car design. The car itself tied to a GPS system could evaluate the speed limit and warn the driver that he or she is operating outside the legal limit. I bet that nifty little GM OnStar that assists drivers could easily be modified to 'assist' the driver stay within the law. But drivers don't want to stay within the law... and if drivers don't want to stay within the law, why do we have the laws.
So will there be changes over the next 50 years in automotive safety technology and will it change transportation in general?
