Of all the places I'd expect negative reactions to this, I'm shocked HN is one of them.<p>This is automation of a dangerous job that is expensive to pay the labor costs of. That's our <i>thing</i>, folks! That's what tech is all about!<p>If you think the speed limits should be higher so you can drive faster, fine, but that's completely orthogonal to the point here.<p>Better enforcement of road laws, fewer police deaths from road accidents, lower cost to achieve these goals. I see this as entirely beneficial.<p>The only people complaining are the ones who want to disregard road laws because they don't care about the danger they pose to others, and like that there's barely any enforcement.
