NYS plans to make roads safer by using advanced driving systems and speed limiters

[Saltwater60]

More and more from the nanny state. Soon they will regulate food, how and when you can walk down the street and the list goes.

No one is going to start regulating what I put into my body and how I take care of my own body. The only way they're regulating my body, is if it is cold and dead after fighting -- because I will not give up my bodily autonomy by choice.

disconnects the speed sensor from the transmission .. LOL ..

How about no.
They sound like another liberal, nanny state loving, out of touch with reality magazine. A speed limiter won't do a damn thing unless connected to gps that has the known speed limit programmed into it. Vehicle too high? Tough nuggets. I'm not willing to drive a Miata just because you can't keep your kids out of the road. Besides, tiny cars are notoriously bad at hauling bulk runner crush or other materials for that matter.
People just need to pull their head out of their collective asses and pay attention.

10 round magazines, any questions?

Horrendous Hochul is out of fucking control. How bad are things going to get here in NY?
Just wait, You all haven't seen anything yet.

When Evil Eyebrows wins a for real actual election and becomes the legit elected queen.
She's going to get an even fatter head and go for broke to please her puppet masters (donors.)

And eventually, because she's an idiot, get herself into some shit to where she is forced to resign. She's in over her head, just watch and see, it's going to happen. And her replacement will be even worse than FUAC and FUKH combined.

I'm telling you, man, get the fuck out of NY if you can.
It's all I can think about lately. The wife and I had a long talk last night.
It's got to be done and that's all there is to it.

FUKH

They should go back to the 85 mph speedometer. Remember how well that worked?

 

[fresch]

Only the state, county, vehicles will be exempt.

 

[Apeman]

Half the roads around me aren't posted which means they're 55mph. Yet too many idiots can't drive 55 on them because they're too stupid to know what the legal limit is or they can't comprehend what "end 45mph" means on a sign. Even if it's posted at 55 how are we supposed to pass someone doing 45 if the computer won't let you go over 55? You'll get hung out in the left lane without being able to get around them.

They need to mandate more training with at least 24 hours of on the road driving with a qualified instructor. You must also give them access to your social media accounts too. If we have to do it for an actual RIGHT then it shouldn't be an issue for a privilege like driving.

They need to face the fact that some people just can't drive safely

They can't fix potholes. I'm not worried about the hi-tech stuff

 

[Deplorable Me]

The queen travels by jet. Speed regulated electric ground vehicles with breathalyzers are for the peasants.

Out my way they fix potholes by putting up "rough road" signs.

 

[US RIFLE M1A]

I rented a car which had a feature that followed the lines on the road. It scared the hell out of me when we got into construction and the white lines led right into a barrier.

I guess the car did not know what orange cones were.

 

[Saltwater60]

So will they get rid of speeding tickets? How about state troopers on the thruway? How about the areas where No posted speed limit is? What will they do to replace this revenue?

Probably thinking they're saving lives with the potholes being an effective speed deterrent.

 

[Phazer]

Reprogramming vehicles with firmware hacks will become a cottage industry.

 

[Bigfoot]

I'm so sick of this kind of stuff, It gets tiring. I wish the politicians would stop being so concerned about everyone's safety. Freedom can be scary, I'll take freedom every time.

Now I'm going to go out pedal to the metal and break the speed limit.
At some point, I'm going to stop someplace just to call people awful names.
Then when I get back home, I'm going to light my burn barrel just so I can watch all of the climate change billowing out and up into the sky. It's how I roll... Freedom!

"The costs of fitting additional ADAS to cars won't be absorbed by anyone but the end consumer. That being said, you can't put a price on safety."

Yes, you can. Why the hell not? Actually, that's a smart thing to do.
Money doesn't grow on trees.

Of they can’t put a price on safety then why aren’t there cops on every street corner?

I knew this was coming. These liberal cesspools are going to drive out the freedom loving individuals and cultivate their collective, hive mind, nanny state loving slaves.

One of the new regulations put forward is that drivers of such vehicles must have "direct visibility of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users from the driver's position." It's unclear how this would be enforced, but it's certainly a major issue. A recent study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that the tall hoods of typical SUVs like a Chevrolet Suburban are far too high. In testing, several children were asked to sit on the pavement in front of a stationary SUV with a mother behind the wheel.

Hmmm....whatever happened when everyone used to drive the classic cars from the 80s and earlier? the huge hood on a Chevy caprice or old Jeep Wagoneer dwarves a Suburban.

 

[ManualF150]

How about truck drivers that sit low and have a tall stick... lol

loop hole .. buy a motor cycle LOL ..

Sounds like they want to bring back cab-over vehicles.

"In testing, several children were asked to sit on the pavement in front of a stationary SUV with a mother behind the wheel."

I was taught to look around the vehicle as I approached it, and be aware of my surroundings. Amazingly, not a single sitting child was run over in all the years I've been driving.

 

[Apeman]

The current tech in cars isn't very good. I've driven a few cars with with adaptive cruise control and it sucks. It slows you down earlier than it needs to so you need to pull out of your lane earlier, and it doesn't speed back up fast enough once you're clear. I turn if off every time and just rely on paying attention.

I'm not going to lie and say I haven't done stupid shit behind the wheel but one of the biggest problems is that people can't put down their phones and just drive. Nobody pays attention anymore

Funny how the left has turned the word "religious" to mean something hateful and evil. Im not religious myself although I think that some of the 10 Commandments are good moral rules to live by.

LOL the new Hayabusa, out of the box = 186mph, but the Out of the box King of speed would be the Kawa Ninja H2/R @ 209 ( but only with the "R" = race, designation)

Religious or not if everyone lived by the 10 commandments the world would be a much better place for sure. Good standard to hold yourself to.
