I know trials of this technology have been done before, but this looks like a more widespread rollout. One interesting thing to watch will be how they propose to update the devices once fitted, given councils propensity for changing/reducing limits on a regular basis.
Anyone wonder if the encouragement will be through tax incentives (or just higher road tax for those who don't have one fitted)?
From the video with the article "It's almost like someone else is driving". Doesn't inspire me with confidence that I'd want to share the road with someone driving with that mentality. Later on he says "Some motorists will enjoy not having to think about [staying within the speed limit] too much". What about chosing a safe speed within that?
