   @notjustbikes Just had a thought. Self-driving car software like Tesla's recognize speed limit signs via the car's camera array and adjust their speeds accordingly (+10 KM/H because hey laws are just a suggestion, right?). As autonomous cars become common what if cyclists started wearing jackets with a 20 KM/H speed limit sign printed on the backside? Alternatively print a large orange construction cone on the back since a car is unlikely to give a cyclist space but they are scared of cones.

     @derrickb It would almost certainly work, and Teslas aren't the only cars that recognize speed limit signs either.

     I feel like somebody out there must've tried that by now. 🤔

     It is pretty dystopian if cyclists feel the need to dress up as traffic cones to avoid being killed by murderbots though. 😬
