Comment Fly by wire (Score 2, Informative) 504
The system can only control cars that have 'fly by wire' systems to control the engine.
So if like my car there is a cable running from the back of the accelerator pedel to the top of the engine which controls the engine power, they are going to have a very hard time stopping me.
They really haven't thought this through, speed doesn't kill people, admittedly it doesn't help, its driver awareness that kills people, I see people everyday who are blissfully unaware that they can see behind their car using a shiny bit of metal bolted on the outside (mirrors), te same group who travel everywhere without using indicators (turn signals)
