Cars may soon warn speeders to slow down. Will Americans listen?
Road safety advocates say urgent beeps or gas-pedal resistance would save thousands of lives, but industry and driving groups are opposed.
The anti-speeding systems in the California bill would give drivers an audible and visual warning once they are more than 10 mph over the limit. Other versions of the technology make the gas pedal push back once the speed limit has been exceeded.
Auto industry and driver groups are mounting a campaign urging Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to veto the measure ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline for his signature. A spokesman for Newsom said the measure would be “evaluated on its merits.”
