I find myself asking "how is this legal" several times a day lately. Why does "tech" get to stress-test long standing rules and norms? It's an attitude of "I dare you to regulate us". I'm remembering a comment on HN a week or so ago . To paraphrase: "thing, but from the internet".




The article says it “speeds” but provides no sources or evidence, you might want to take that with a grain of salt.

Here’s a video of the new mode, it seems pretty normal, you wouldn’t bat an eye to a friend driving in the exact same way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8uIPsaF-yY

Not that I would trust it with my life at this point in time, but the claims do seem exaggerated.


There is effectively 0 traffic to contend with in that video. I do not see how you could reasonably claim that video should alleviate fears about unsafe behavior.

It does not seem to go over the speed limit, even on an empty road?
