We have a 2022 Hyundai car. I will never drive it again after the car “decided” I wasn’t changing lanes fast enough or slowing down sooner than “it”thought I should be. I had plenty of time to pass the slower car in front of me - the car braked while I was driving 65mph in the middle lane on I20. The car skidded and hopped - I was so fortunate that there was not cars in lanes on either side or behind me. It would have been a terrible accident. I would hate to have had that happen while on my bike!

actually the limiters are already installed and have been for a few years already. I know my 19 trike will shutoff at a certain speed from the factory. Even the 24 RG and SG have limiters set on them from the factory currently until they get certain fixes in place unless they done away with that already, but I remember the news stories and yt videos of people talking about it just a few months ago. rail systems will be the best way to get to 0 deaths/injuries. buses, self driving, etc won't be enough period and never will be because there's always going to be a error at some point with those.

Good morning 🌅, or it was , I have been riding for 60+ , on motorcycles, and 55+ years cars and trucks, and in that time I’ve had some instances where if I hadn’t accelerated away from another vehicle, I would’ve been killed, if I had slam my brakes on, I would’ve skidded out of control, stupid drivers pulling out of gateways off roundabouts without the care of looking to see what is coming down the road, If somebody is gone along on a highway doing 50 miles an hour and the speed limit is 60 , or 70, it is better to be able to accelerate quickly get past the vehicle and get back in past the vehicle that you are overtaken, if you start to accelerate and all of a sudden this engine management system comes in and restrict you from accelerating you could end up getting killed, whoever came up this shit idea putting on a bike or in a vehicle and tried to do an instant where you are got two choices are there accelerate or stop?, And I think I can guarantee nine times out of 10. It is better to accelerate out of an instant then trying to stop. A few months ago, I was in my local town., on foot, I’ve looked up and down the road to make sure there was nothing coming, I stepped out onto the main roadway. I nearly got hit by electric car., as I could not hear it coming down the road, I think now I’m going to buy a pony and cart , it is just like everything else we are being taken over by big brother, control freaks luckily I do not have many years to go in my life, but I would like to be able to live it free, to go and do what I want to do when I want to do it, stay safe right free,

I agree with them adding this to all vehicles. Yes, for the next eight to twelve years (the average time people keep vehicles in 2024) there will be vehicles that can come up on us from behind at a greater velocity, but we need to start somewhere to regulate excessive speeds. When was the last time you saw traffic really driving at the speed limit (without cops present)? My estimate is that traffic on freeways is usually 5 mph above the limit. Then you have the clowns that are weaving around everyone thinking the road is their own personal race track. I personally drive no more than 5 mph above the speed limit, so yes, I am guilty of it too. But, we need to do something, and it will take time. Just an honest assessment on my part.
