I went to a talk many months back on the IEEE

sometime standard aimed at helping people to be able to treat their
digital property more like they treat their physical property.
The 1865 act required all road locomotives, which included
automobiles, to travel at a maximum of 4 mph (6 km/h) in the
country and 2 mph (3 km/h) in towns and have a crew of three
travel, one of whom should carry a red flag walking 60 yards (55
m) ahead of each vehicle. The 1896 Act removed the need for the
crew of three and raised the speed to 14 mph (23 km/h).
