Once we start up the slippery slope of technologically prohibiting risky behavior, were will it end? Studies show that even hands-free talking distracts drivers, so clearly that should be blocked. Excessive speed increases injuries and deaths, so speed limits should be enforced by cars. (Which self-driving cars will, no doubt, do.) Loud music makes it hard to hear emergency vehicles, so stereos should have a federally-specified maximum volume. Impaired driving kills and maims lots of people, so every car should have a breathalyzer/sobriety test built in.
