      How the fuck does getting a speeding indicator mean that you have a nanny state? Merely being given information is too much for you?

        Because I don’t want a beep every 20 seconds. It’s annoying. Same with the constant beep if I drive my car 50ft down the driveway without a seatbelt.

        Nobody in the US is speeding on accident nobody wants alerts. The only thing this would be useful for is driving through long speed traps with average speed which didn’t exist here.

        It only exists to annoy the driver. And if it were a useful feature, not a nagging device you would be allowed to turn it off. Nanny state.

        Then do something worthwhile and effective instead of pointless shit that just pisses people off. You have limited political capital and this isn’t worth it. Especially when it ends up affecting folks on the other side of the country.

        I don’t see how this will make anyone safer. It’s going to be training people to ignore honking.

        I am too. I just don’t believe this will do that. It’ll just piss everyone off and mandate surveillance in cars

            I’m in a rental right now with blind spot detection, and at first I thought it was pretty decent. Recently though, I’ve realized that 75% of the time it dings at me when I signal to change lanes, there’s literally not a single object within 50ft of me on that side. It’s just meaningless noise to ignore the majority of the time.

              It’s your car model. Plenty of them are configurable, take relative speeds into account, and quite accurate.
