Cars in the Middle East had these like 20-30 years ago (source:me. I was there) and it was basically a constant buzzer that started when you went faster than like 88kph. It did absolutely nothing to deter speeding. Drivers just ignored it. What they did do was leave charred vehicle wreckage on the side of the roads and highways as reminders for people to slow down. That was pretty wild to see.
The non-stop chimes and beeps and spoken alerts in cars in South Korea is absolutely maddening. With these constant distractions, there’s absolutely no way this makes driving safer.
Imagine passing a speed limit sign that warns of an upcoming speed bump. It will immediately start loud beeping because you’re now speeding as you roll out, while simultaneously speaking out loud what the new speed limit is, while simultaneously also saying there’s a speed bump, all while your music and navigation play as well.
I’m going to guess the Middle East has fewer roads per capita and they are less complicated in their speed limits than the US which are all over the place even within the same state.
Your point about ignoring them is what I expected.
Too many dumb motherfuckers would slow down on the highway to 30 mph to rubberneck while driving and fuck up the traffic pattern for everyone behind them

Thank goodness this was vetoed.

Can’t happen in the United States.
