Although I’m mildly optimistic that these sensors will help reduce drunk/distracted driving, I’m also concerned about the increased prevalence of corporations stepping into the roll of Big Brother. Case in point, the speed restriction… I don’t know that I’ve ever driven faster than 108MPH, but I’m uncomfortable with an entity like Volvo that purports to keep my best interests at heart. I live in the Midwest which has tornadoes, and although you probably can’t outrun one, I think I’d like the freedom to try if I ever found myself in that situation. I don’t think my next car will be a Volvo.
