Nothing makes me want to consider your product less than openly suggesting breaking the law and endangering others as a use case.

What are you talking about? I am not openly suggesting that. This is a forum for tech in development. It is important to discuss and be able to be open about both intended and unintended consequences of the technology we work on. Too much focus on the positives. So this is an exercise on the good side of freedom of speech. With open discussion, the positives can be magnified and the negative mitigated.

This is an unintended consequence, but it would make it safer from a utilitarian perspective. I think a consequence of taking this to market is that people would use it for that, but it is not intended specifically for that. Traffic safety is a big one, and anything that can improve traffic safety should be considered, and if it does the law will change and adapt to technological innovation, but that is far ahead.
