The new media that I would suggest is not out yet which is the speed tracking system in cars. Since we are all aware of the consequences of driving fast and how it can be costly for a driver or other passengers if he's into driving fast. I would suggest a software that could be build up in latest cars which could limit the pace of the car. Generally, we know drunk driving and speeding occurs during the night time usually in the midnight. The new software would have the capability to limit the speed by considering the timing of the day. For example,if its past 10pm at night the speed tracker would automatically be activated itself. During late night the traffic is less on the road the driver tend to speed up when the roads are clear or when someone is drunk driving.
Hey Ahmad- This new media sounds like a nice and safe idea for drivers. Generally, people shouldn't be driving on the road if they feel the least bit intoxicated, but many times people say they're fine and many times, they still get into accidents. So, I think this innovation would be a cool idea for drivers. This would also be useful to those speeding without even knowing. Interesting idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Ahmad,
ReplyDeleteI think that is a really cool new media concept, but I don't think it would be practical. On most 65 mph highways, people would be driving 70-75 mph on average. I feel like your plans of limiting driving speed would agitate many drivers and cause unnecessary traffics. Also, I feel like if drivers knew that every car was limited to a certain high speed then they would be less aware of their surroundings. Instead of looking out for drunk drivers and fast drivers, they may just focus on what is ahead of them and not what’s behind or besides them. Also, it would be difficult to maintain this speed limit system since many people would not be purchasing a new car in the next 5-10 years. I feel like it would be very difficult to enforce this new system without a unified car system.
