When you look at the sheer amount of deliberate and reckless dangerous driving there is out there, and the amount of police resource it takes to deal with, not to mention the pervasive sense of hostility on our roads, I don't understand why we aren't moving to some form of geofencing, speed, access restrictions etc to motor cars. The technology is in e-scooters and e-bikes.
Perhaps fully autonomous cars aren't possible yet, but I would have thought it's possible to build cars now that won't allow the driver to do close passes, or rat run 50mph down a residential street toward oncoming cyclists etc.
I wish - sadly don't think it would sell though, as it's not exactly in car companies' interest to 'limit thuh freedomz' of potential buyers by advertising safety features which protect fakkin cyclists and limit the awesome power of the ICE through the accelerator foot.
