Another reason why our cars should drive themselves

When it comes to car-pedestrian collisions in residential zones, the difference between 20 and 30 miles an hour is a big deal.   Eric de Place advocates making it easier for communities to reduce speed limits, but then wonders if drivers will comply anyway.

But why leave it up to the drivers?   We have the technology now to make cars stay within the speed limits.  This is another example of how our weird idea about cars and transportation gets in the way of safe roads.
