Much as we'd like to emulate our NASCAR heroes, breaking the speed limit often comes at a price. Ford is hoping to prevent accidents and speeding tickets by introducing cars that can see what the speed limit is and preventing heavy-footed motorists from driving any faster. Ford's Intelligent Speed Limiter tech will first appear on the new Ford S-Max that's launching in Europe that could just change the way that we drive.

I believe that this is likely to cause quite a few rear-end collisions.

I’m surprised it’s taken this long.

Until the first car that gets in an accident because it could not accelerate. They should crowd source their ideas before they announce them.

The cops and prosecutors will never allow a huge stream of income from speeding tickets go away.
To: C19fan
OK, so I am on a road with a speed limit of 60. I want to pass a car that is fluctuating between 55-58.
This is a disaster waiting to happen.

In some areas you can be ticket for impeding traffic even if you are driving the speed limit.

It is just a matter of time before the insurance industry butts their nose in and demands that ALL cars have this technology. But the cities dependent on traffic ticket revenues are gonna hate it.

Exactly. And then there is the loss of income to cities and towns from speeding tickets...

I remember the good ol’ days before eighteen wheelers had governors that limited their speed. You never found yourself behind two semis for ten minutes while one tried to pass the other.

this will CAUSE accidents by preventing needed speed in accident avoidance.
Also nobody will buy this “bib mommy” BS. (perhaps the European eunuchs or NYC effetes)

On the freeways I drive here in SOCAL, if you drive the speed limit (generally 65mph), you’ll get run over.
