I've never EVER encountered a predictive system that is more of a help than a hindrance

An ancient cheap small laptop would do it fine. Plex or Jellyfin software

America is so widely spaced out that there are some huge stretches of mostly empty highways, so the only feasible way to monitor for speeders is by helicopter watching over the massive stretches of road. Or at least that's how it used to be, these days i bet they are increasingly just using cameras

That's so odd, i thought usually sports car speedometers go higher than the car is actually able to achieve in order to trick people into thinking it's actually capable of going that fast. But now that i think about it i guess that was just an assumption

I was once on an empty road that was straight all the way to the horizon and i got it up to 100. I woulda gone higher but my passenger didn't want to

I don't know anything about cars, is it possible to switch modes at the press of a button? If so, how instantaneous is the change? Like could i have it in fast acceleration mode when I'm gonna do a difficult highway on-ramp, and then switch to fuel economy mode once I'm at cruising speed?

Just a question for clarity here - you're saying that a person of sound mind and can communicate should be killed against their will?

"Polarizing" doesn't mean "almost everyone disagrees with you". It means "many people agree with you and many people disagree with you".

But if you said "people in poor health should HAVE THE OPTION of being euthanized" then that would qualify as polarizing

I don't know what makes you think Biggie was some kind of clean cut do-gooder
