Mandatory speed limiters due on all cars within three years in the EU
European Transport Safety Council proposals gain approval from MEPs (Members of European Parliament); mandatory limiters likely within three years.
All new cars sold in the EU are set to be fitted with mandatory speed limiters within three years, after a key group of MEPs approved the fitment of a wide range of safety measures for new cars. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-ne...in-three-years |

Seeing how most new cars sold within five years will be autonomous speeding will become a thing of the past in ten years. I see speed limits being raised on interstates though. I am shocked that all insurance companies have not demanded OBD data logs yet. The nanny state has arrived.

They should talk with people who have such camera based systems in their car right now. Every person I met who drive such a car turned the system off since a lot of times when you pass a truck that has speed limit sign on the back (it's the same visuals as a common speed limit sign, but only shows how fast that truck is allowed to drive) it get's recognized as a speed limit

How tired I am of the politicians, that the blood suck like vampires and they pretend to govern us like cattle. They bore the sheep.

Every day I have a more antiunion opinion. For this, if you join and legislate, but to trap and imprison the fled of justice who live in countries of the same union, for that we are different countries. That fatigue of mediocre policies.

"Gunkk, what is this craziness?!", you say? In much of France and the UK they are hard core with speed cameras... +1mph and you pay a 200 euro fine, no questions, no court challenges: you just lose. Sure the gilets jaunes will b!tch about it, but the majority of the population will just shrug and go about their daily lives. |

A buddy has a BMW here in the US that has the ability to "read" speed limit signs. It can display the speed limit on the DIC and you can set a warning if you wish. He pointed out that features like this (start/stop, etc.) are programmable and many BMW owners enable or disable these features via a tune.

Does this fall under the Green New Deal, long with eliminating cow farts? lol! Got to love when government thinks they know best for people instead of having personal responsibility. The day that all vehicles become self driving boxes is the day I start walking everywhere, hope not in my life time though!
