There are places where cars can exist to express the spirit of freedom and fuck-you attitude and go fast as hell and race, and do whatever with like-minded people, known as drag strips and private tracks.

And there are people known as "sociopaths" who will never be happy unless their freedom to go fast puts some non-consenting person in danger.

 Should technology be used to enforce ALL laws?
 

The question seems a bit premature, it hardly enforces any, at least on its own. We still employee legions of human police to "enforce" laws i.e. spend half the day harassing brown people and the other half paid overtime for standing around at construction details on their phones.
I'll be more worried about a technological take over if the number of human cops ever substantially declines, fat chance of that.
