Thanks to people noting that this is already happening to some degree in Europe&#x2F;UK (didn&#x27;t even stop to consider what was happening there already, gotta widen my world view).<p>What I&#x27;m worried is having it just be instant. Some regulation that requires speed-checkers in every car built, and reporting to find out any time your car goes over the speed limit, regardless if there&#x27;s a camera in sight. But maybe driver-less cars will come first, and manual driving itself will be outlawed (or made prohibitively expensive).<p>It&#x27;s a balance -- it would seem to me that speed traps are stunningly effective at protecting a given intersections (if people have been speeding through it too much), but the logic applies pretty much everywhere, just waiting for someone to try and apply it.<p>This is going to prompt some interesting soul searching from the populace. Yeah, you <i>want</i> the speed limit to be 35 (for the kids, of course), but now that you get penalized instantly when you break the rule you agreed on, the fine won&#x27;t be so enjoyable. Or, laws will pass as they normally do without the majority of the populace thinking, caring, or getting a say.
