| Oof, I really hate this automated enforcement. Might be time to get a paintball gun. |

| And this is the reason I can’t wait for self driving cars that just follow the speed limit. |

| Tbh an overpowered laser off alibaba probably works a lot better at longer range |

You can use them under the direct supervision of the licensed owner, but it's still quite restrictive. If you were to take one and shoot at cameras on the street it would vandalism plus firearms offences, most of which start at inversion of innocence, massive fines and move pretty quickly into prison time. |

| What else could make life safer at a realistic cost for people outside of vehicles? |

| ▲ | redwall_hp 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Urban planning that separates pedestrians and vehicles. Roads that are narrow in places where a lower speed is desirable. Heavy taxation on vehicles with more mass and lower visibility. Actual licensing standards other than driving down a couple of city streets and parking. More crossings, with lights or bridges, instead of long four-lane arterial roads with nowhere to safely cross. | |
