Daring Fireball
@daringfireball from actually driving a car with this “feature”, I cannot overstate how annoying it really is. They also didn’t make it smart in any way, so if I overshoot on 110km/h highway it complains immediately at 112km/h. It’s idiotic and I’m sure will cause more accidents due to angry drivers trying to find where in menu to disable because they forgot to turn off before driving off, thus distracting them.
@jonathangulbrandsen @daringfireball I’ve got a speeding ticket in Germany for driving 105 in a 100 limited section of the autobahn
@spitfire @daringfireball but those are progressive , right? So if you had done 150, much bigger fine. This is not that. It bothers you exactly as much if 1 km over as 50km over.
