The slippery slope to the bottom has started. :cry:

Personal car/vehicle use is going to disappear as we know it.

Do you think autonomous vehicles may be allowed to travel faster?

Methinks that is the nub, the slower they go the further they can go between charges. Another reason for dropping perfectly good national's to 40, or am I being paranoid? :flail:

Just because you're not paranoid it doesn't mean that they're not out to get you.

If they can't, they're doing it wrong (for the same reason speed limits shouldn't apply at all to automous cars. If they can't work out when they need to be travelling slower than the speed limit, they're not fit for purpose, and if they can do that, why do they need a limit at all?)

I think only cyclists will be allowed to travel faster.
