"California Wants To Use In-Car Tech To Stop You From Going 10 MPH Over Speed Limit"

"A California senator appears to have a need for speed… limits. He’s just introduced a bill that, if it becomes law, would cap car speeds at just 10 mph (16 km/h) above the posted limit for vehicles sold in 2027 and beyond. Some call it an overreach while others argue that it’s a common sense move to improve safety.

The senator behind this initiative is Scott Weiner, and his proposal involves equipping cars with artificial intelligence (AI) that can identify and enforce the speed limit. The idea is to prevent vehicles from exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 mph. While the specifics of how this technology would work remain uncertain, it’s worth noting that many modern cars already employ electronically controlled limiters to restrict their top speeds.

The proposed bill, numbered 961, would mandate that vehicles manufactured from the 2027 model year and after incorporate GPS technology and onboard cameras to detect instances of speeding. This technology could issue audible, visual, or haptic warnings to the driver and ultimately limit the vehicle’s speed to no more than 10 mph over the posted speed limit."
