They say:
>The problem with speeding is that above certain speeds, in-car safety technology and smart infrastructure design are no longer enough to avoid severe injuries and fatalities in the event of an accident.
And, frankly, they're right: you cannot engineer your way out of the laws of physics.
Yes you can. You have a Audi/BMW/Mercedes that do do 250km/h without any issues. Even more on some models.
You have Audi/BMW/Mercedes that can crash at 250km/h in real world conditions "without any issues?"
I'm doubtful.
I did not say “crash without any issues”, I said “they can do 250 or more without any issues”. And they are super safe on the road, meaning they can sustain the speed for prolonged periods of time and not break in any way.
My issue is that Volvo initially proposed that all cars made in Europe be limited to 180 or below. And when their idea was rejected, they started to claim safety.
