I've always wondered why they don't put speed limiting devices on cars already. I know it's a loss of freedom or whatever, but logically if speeding is unsafe shouldn't we try to make people stop? Not by punishing offenders, but by making it impossible to screw up in the first place.

They used to be required, but the car industry knew that it pointed to the driver being responsible for collisions, so they lobbied to have the requirement dropped.

Seriously. Put a transponder in every car and on every speed limit sign. Done.
