I never said it was a great idea, or new. But it does meet the criteria that the original complaints were about. It also seems like a better solution than what we currently use. And I say that as someone who would probably suffer, as I drive a lot.
Given the UK spends around £750bn a year, I wouldn't be overly fussed about your £250k. It'd run the country for the best part of 5 minutes. Doing a few minutes silences throughout the year actually costs more than £250k, as it's 5 minutes through the year when the government stops working.
I do agree that cars will eventually go autonomous and this won't be an issue, but that's not really the topic for this one. It's just the usual "If it's green it can't possibly be good" stuff.
