California could require car ‘governors’ that limit speeding to 10 mph over posted limits (San Francisco Chronicle)

California State Senator Scott Wiener has introduced a bill that would make California the first state to mandate “speed governors “in new vehicles.  Starting with the 2027 model year, these speed governors are a new technology that would restrict vehicles from exceeding 10 mph over posted speed limits, a measure intended to address the rising traffic fatalities in California and the Bay Area. The technology can use GPS or cameras to control speed based on where the car is, therefore knowing the posted speed limit and adjusting the max speed accordingly. [ Link]
