A new Illinois law will target so-called “super-speeders,” requiring them to install speed-limiting devices in their vehicles if they commit multiple road violations.
I’m ok with this. I would also love to see breathalyzer interlock devices installed in every car, the same way seatbelts are. You can’t drink and drive if your car won’t start.
Good in theory, except the entire breathalyzer industry is terrible hardware. Intentionally. No one gives a shit about DUI drivers. So the companies have no reason to make good products.
I mean, it’s a legal requirement for DUI drivers to be able to still drive now… doesn’t stop them from making terrible hardware. Granted, that’s a very tiny market so no real incentive for competition to drive quality either.

I would assume making it a legal requirement would certainly incentivize some quality control.

It would. No one wants to admit that standardization, especially when it begins to affect the rich, leads to improvment.
