    I’m sorry - this is just fucking stupid. Cars are becoming way too bogged down with shit like this that acts like a hovering parent who nags you constantly while having to know where you are all the time.

      I want to crash my car into a brick wall every time it makes me click “okay” to the full screen warning that tells me it is my responsibility to keep my eyes on the road. Yeah, no shit, you fucking wanker.

        The California Senate has passed SB 961, which would require “passive speed limiters” to be installed in all new cars manufactured or sold in the Golden State by 2032.

        They wouldn’t be liable for speeders anyways that’s criminal misuse by a third party. Just like how Craftsman isn’t to blame when someone gets hit with a wrench. And there are lawful purposes for vehicles that can travel more than the state’s speed limit, like racing on tracks or when rushing to a hospital in an emergency.

        This is such a stupid fucking timeline. No shit the manufacturers aren’t responsible for the driving behavior of the drivers. Ugh! Like, get a fucking clue.
