Ford's new car will force you to obey the speed limit

[bripat9643]

A better idea is stiffer penalties for speeding. If you're caught doing 10 or more malprow over the limit you lose your license for a period of months.

A better idea would be taking the vote away from morons like you.

One of these days someone is gonna get badly injured in a crash caused by a speeder and sue the auto companies for building cars DESIGNED to break the law. Then the industry will have to change. I can't understand why this hasn't happened yet. I suspect people have threatened to sue and the company gave them a huge settlement to shut up.

You mean cars can break the speed limit without the driver pushing on the gas pedal?

 

[hipeter924]

Yeah. Never going to get a Ford. Plenty of car manufacturers that just build more user friendly vehicles with more features, than Ford can come up with.

 

[FA_Q2]

Anybody else need more proof that the government and big business are in bed together?

I doubt that the government actually likes an idea like this - there is a LOT of money being stolen in the forms of traffic violations.

 

[FA_Q2]

Why would anybody buy one of these cars?

If it drives itself, I'm open. I'm sick of driving.

You must be a real piece of work behind the wheel..............

Why>

I feel the EXACT same way. As soon as Google lets me own one of those self driving cars I am going to get one.

What "user friendly" features does a GM have that a Ford doesn't have?

Since the system can be deactivated by pushing a button on the console, I don't see it as much of a restriction. Might be handy for those speed trap areas.

Horseshit. The driver of the car has control over the speed and the biggest gauge on the dash is the speedometer. You are responsible for how fast you drive.

I love that you ridicule liberals for their lack of personal responsibility, and then try to remove the personal responsibility for deliberate actions.

ShootSpeeders, we already know you're stupid, no need to further prove it.

HAHAHA. I love watching you go ballistic. HAHA

go ballistic? Now pointing and laughing at you for being a moron is going ballistic? I mean seriously ?

HAHAHA. The deactivation button won't last. What part of the moon do you live on?

That's not how the law looks at things. When a product has a feature that encourages the user to break the law and injure others, the company is in legal trouble. At least that's how it usually works. For some reason the auto industry is allowed to sell cars that do twice the speed limit. THINK

 

[Little-Acorn]

Why would anybody buy one of these cars?

Nobody would.

Unless the government forces them to.

Which is likely the plan.

Aren't you GLAD you voted for Big Government?

Absolute nonsense. There is not one feature on a car that encourages anyone to exceed the speed limit. Not one. And, as I said, the largest gauge on the dash is the speedometer. Personal responsibility is a wonderful thing. Expecting someone else to be responsible for your actions is simply wrong.

 

[Preacher]

Don't buy one then.

When did I vote for big government?

 

[bucs90]

What if you put a piece of tape over the camera?

 

[9thIDdoc]

Driving too slow probably causes as many or more accidents than driving too fast. But not paying close enough attention makes the driver unsafe at any speed and these are probably the most dangerous of them all.

 

[9thIDdoc]

Having bought a car it belongs to me and I'll reconfigure it any way I please. The same is true of gas. If I want to drive a vehicle that gets 2gal/mi it is none of your business.

State governments, maybe. But federal government is a different story.

HAHAHA. You ignorant jackass. Try buying a semi-automatic gun and reconfigure it to full auto and see what the govt says.
