    Feels like sooner or later they’re just going to govern every car to the posted speed limit of the road it’s driving on. The tech definitely exists, and there isn’t really a nonemotional reason not to.

      Um, driving someone to the hospital? That’s a pretty non-emotional reason to speed

        Like most humans you are bad at calculating risk. Speeding on a trip to a hospital will likely only save you seconds. An ambulance that can avoid traffic and skip red lights is going to save significantly more time.

        Speeding doesn’t shorten travel time unless the distances are significant (hundreds of Kilometers). So speeding to a hospital is more likely to lead to a crash than save time; it’s irrational and emotional.

        Haven’t you ever noticed that car you blew past pull up next to you at the red-light?
