What would you prefer? That some people drive slightly over the speed limit? Or a spot where people suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid getting a ticket, endangering those who might be behind them with their sudden change of speed?

Because the latter is what these devices tend to do.

Maybe we could stop them from lobbying so hard against alternatives that they frequently kill support for them? Maybe we could stop them from bribing lawmakers to support subsidies for themselves while denying subsidies for alternatives?

Or wait, here's a good one, maybe we could stop them from spending billions of dollars on ad campaigns and BS propaganda that downplays their contribution while pushing a message that the real problem is all those awful individuals like us who are really the ones who should be sacrificing rather than the multi-billion dollar international conglomerates?
