    I assume the idea is to be like the seatbelt beeps: they prevent the unwanted behavior by being too annoying to ignore for more than a few seconds.

      I would legit rip out anything that did this. I wouldn’t care how integrated it was into the car.

        You are a bad driver and are probably too reckless to have a drivers license.

        In Sweden, if you go 15 mph over the speed limit, you immediately lose your license on the first offense. No one deserves to die because you decided to play Nascar.

        You understand how speed limits are set in the US, right? they’re designed so that 85% of drivers will instinctively not speed on them. If you’re speeding, that makes you worse than 85% of drivers out there.

        The US is the only western country with rising traffic fatalities for a reason.

      Wouldn’t bother someone who’s deaf and blind. They’d just continue driving the wrong way down the highway, blissfully unaware.

        “You’re going the wrong way!”

        “He says we’re going the wrong way… Oh, he’s drunk. How would he know where we’re going?”

      I wish tesla’s and bmw’s came with lane assist so that its harder to change lanes without a turn signal. also all cars should come with lights always on, so many cars in the early morning or dusk driving around with their lights off its hard to notice them

        Teslas absolutely come with lane assist. Annoyingly so in some cases to be honest, it freaks out about a little double dip around my house probably 50% of the time. There’s not even a turn, just a couple vertical bumps in a row.

        Also, most modern vehicles I see have always on daytime running lights you have to specifically turn off.

          hmm I see a ton of teslas merging without signals so I dont know if they fight the lane assist or disable it maybe. and usually day time running lights dont light up the rear lights, it would be great if they did both
