The only way it can work

There is just one way this no attention span thing is possible. It is the same as changing from left to right lane traffic.

It must all happen on the same day. Somehow everyone on the road must have a (gift?) full driverless car.

Personally I own a machine with a big V8. I do not drive it often since I have a very nice e-bike I hacked. But when I do drive the vehicle I absolutely insist on full control! If the other traffic is speeding then so do I. It is about maintaining a safe following distance and keeping up with the traffic. Then, when I approach a school zone I slow down more than the max limit. I like to give myself some Max Headroom. Kids are like kangaroos in Australia. There is no way to predict when they might jump into traffic.

The word traffic makes me think of a car on drugs...
