    The one rule I would dream of seeing is soft speed throttling to ensure that cars and trucks stay a safe 3 second distance or more apart from each other. That should be relatively easy to do with basic distance sensing and calculations.

      Fucking tailgaters. No idea why so few people seem to be aware of how dangerous and stupid it is to tailgate.

        No, No. You don’t understand. They are great drivers, an accident won’t happen to THEM!

        They do understand but think that they are playing the statistics. “It can’t happen to me” is the mantra of many drivers.

        Don’t you fucking understand, I HAVE to get to the liquor store 0.38 seconds faster or I’m going to start getting withdrawals!

      It is relatively easy. My 2019 Mazda3 does this already when cruise control is on. Its front manufacturer logo is a radar device, and there are a few more on the car. Making it full-time should be easy enough.
