  • Well, I agree with you about the dynamic governor. And I think that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Not only could it potentially reduce fatal accidents, but it also discourages people from driving in urban areas. The case you mentioned with the highway, well, I think a highway has no business being anywhere near where people have to be. Besides, the I’m sure the tech exists when it comes to guiding missiles or some other military atrocity, why can’t we use tech to actually protect people for a change?

    The lack of will is disappointing, but not surprising at all.

    Many of the people who go into the military actually believe they are going to do good things for the world but are ignorant of how much evil they will be asked to do most of the time

    This level of ignorance is not only dangerous, it’s close to inexcusable in the 21st century.


  • Ultimately, it’s not the technology that injures people, it’s the person operating it. An increase in numbers cycling means an increase in idiots cycling. I’m not sure there’s much that can be done about this, to be honest. I’m not sure that legislation is the answer. It’s not like traffic laws have eradicated car accidents or dangerous driving. Perhaps we should be at least grateful that idiots only have the power of an e-bike at their disposal and not a car.

    As an aside, why is there so much clamour for speed limiters in e-bikes, but not in cars? I can’t think of a good reason why car speeds aren’t mechanically capped.
