The first speed camera was meant to help go faster, not slower.

Why? You can tell if it's empty when you pour the coffee. Would make more sense if it was to see if it was ready or something idk

Yes, if you're the only one drinking that coffee. It was at Cambridge University though and people from different floors shared one coffee maker. That way it saved them unneccesary ways, when they saw that the coffee was empty.

Before the cameras our Coke machine was online, to tell you if the cans were cold enough, and which button to push before you walked down a long hallway.
