Comments on Australasian Intelligent Speed Adaptation Initiative - Big Road Brother
Surveillance is one thing; automated ticketing another. But actually stopping a vehicle automatically? (Read the complete story)

"malicious people could hack into the system (probably) and make the car stop...which could lead to kidnapping..robbery, etc,etc"

"Gid, that's exactly what I was thinking...and on top of THAT, some of these "malicious" people are some cops and other law enforcement themselves...*smh* Scary thought."
(M. 1/15/2008 5:26:23 AM)
"I also didn't see anything about the limits of this device; what speed range would require stopping, isn't it dangerous to simply stop a car's engine on the highway, what are the criteria for stopping a car, etc. gid's hacking comment is also well-taken; what if some kid stopped all the traffic on a major freeway? Messy."

"On the other hand, if you have trouble accepting the idea of speed control and automated vehicles, rent the movie 'I, Robot' and watch the sequence in which a passenger in a car is astonished that Will Smith would want to control a vehicle's direction and speed himself. The film perfectly visualizes the benefits of letting machines do the driving."
(Bill Christensen 1/15/2008 8:00:39 AM)
"There'll be the crucial point when lobbyists use folding money to convince legislatures to make exogenous speed controls mandatory. Gresham's Law couldn't work without plenty of other bad laws."
