    I see someone disagrees coz of SA’s infrastructure but overall I don’t see how this is a bad thing?

    It is true that smart or robotic stop signs can react faster than humans in specific tasks - like detecting approaching vehicles, measuring speed, or activating warnings instantly. Machines don’t get tired, distracted, or delayed by reaction time. However, this truth is conditional, not absolute. Faster reaction does not automatically equal safer outcomes in every situation.

    I don’t think so especially in countries like South Africa where we have bad infrastructure with potholes.

    Not necessarily no, since they can malfunction and coz more harm but those are all if bits and maybes

    The claim emphasizes speed but ignores key factors that actually determine safety. Faster reaction alone does not guarantee safer roads. Context matters because rural roads vary in visibility, weather, infrastructure, and driver familiarity. Reliability is also overlooked-robotic systems depend on power, sensors, and maintenance, and failures can negate any speed advantage. Most importantly, safety depends on human interaction. Drivers may misunderstand, ignore, or over-rely on automated signs. Without considering these factors, the claim simplifies a complex safety issue and overstates the role of speed.

    Because if they are not well maintained or understood chances of accidents are there

    There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding this question as the reliability of the robot depends on maintenance and technology as whole, therefore people have zero control over it. However, when these concerns are not present they exceed their capabilities. Therefore it is tricky for this situation to be recognised as the whole truth with so many loopholes.
