David M. Levinson ⁂@daringfireball you talk about walking everywhere in Philly on your show, do you not see speeding and the problems it creates. https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/speed-campaign-speeding-fatalities-14-year-high
CharlieG@Transportist @daringfireball I had the same thought. A person who enjoys the walkability of an old city — somewhat unusual in the California-dominated tech press — complaining about ensuring cars don’t speed.
The better answer to the “nagging” criticism is not to give people the option — why allow people to choose to be able to drive too fast? (Unless it’s a reliability issue.)
@Charles @daringfireball the risk that there are inconsistencies in the GPS maps and posted speed limits remains. And there is always some imagined emergency scenario (going to hospital, saving the city from terrorists, etc. ) that has to accounted for.
@Transportist @daringfireball I can live with the former. The latter I guess is an issue to some extent (and I’ve driven my daughter to hospital at great speed, so one I have some sympathy for!), but I’m not at all sure it outweighs the bigger issue.
