The National Transportation Safety Board is recommending new speed limiter technology.
According to a CNN Business report, an electric car equipped with this intelligence speed assistance program knows the speed limit wherever the particular car is traveling.
A video demonstrating this speed-limiting program on the CNN Business website showed New York City Deputy Mayor of Operations Meera Joshi is driving a vehicle equipped with the program.
While demonstrating the speed limiter program Joshi, formerly FMCSA’s acting administrator, said, “I’m pressing the pedal, but you see actually the number is going down.”

Unlikely.
By then, we’ll have a National Police Force.
Sleep well, America.
They could make it like Indycar’s “push to pass” system, where you only get an allotment of so many seconds per day of overtaking speed.
Not that I want to give them ideas.
I’ve found a few.
But they are come to a pretty simplistic f=ma so a reduction in speed results in fewer fatalities conclusions.
Okaaaaay...
That’s helpful.
NOT.
You knew it was coming.
1984 was fiction and never thought possible since there was no technology to make it work. Well today in 2022 the governments have the technology to make 1984 into reality.
Will they use it to control people, of course they will.
Some days, nuclear annihilation sounds better than having these a$$h0l3$ in charge.
Well, not really, but...
“Sunshine go away today
I don’t feel much like dancing
Some man’s gone, he’s tried to run my life
Don’t know what he’s asking
Working starts to make me wonder where
The fruits of what I do are going
He says in love and war all is fair
But he’s got cards he ain’t showing
How much does it cost, I’ll buy it
The time is all we’ve lost, I’ll try it
And he can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine, Sunshine”
Aluminum foil over the antenna should fix that.
This could kill a lot of people!
Sometimes one must step on the gas and go as fast as possible to save yourself, regardless of speed limit.
“1984” is old technology for the most part!
North Korea is a close analog and has been for decades.
I think “Brave New World” is the direction we are unfortunately going.
Probably also a breathalyzer test and a social credit check first via the car wifi.
The basis for all vehicle navigation is mapping systems and how accurate those systems are is a question that requires a great deal of reflection on whether you want to trust your life to a machine that was programmed by humans. This is the latest victim of bad of GPS “data”:
I have no idea whether the family’s claims are accurate or not. But I can tell you that I’m aware of three significant route errors in all of the big name mapping systems within 150 miles. Following the map into those errors will result in you driving off a cliff. I have submitted corrections to all of the mapping companies for those three errors annually, one of them for going back over 10 years. None of them have been “fixed”.
Wife in labor.
Gotta get to the hospital pronto.
Oops, must go speed limit.
Ray Charles phoned Stevie wonder to tell him he saw it coming
Sometimes when lasting someone you need to speed up in order to get around them before hitting oncoming traffic, or some barrier like a corner or something. Apparently the car won’t allow a person to do so, so accidents Wil. Happen as a result.
Well 55 saves lives and better for planet saves gas /s
[[“And by the way, we know you drove your car to that Trump Rally, ]]
Or “to a right wing Christian church” or “to a gun range” or “to a meeting where right wing radicals congregste” etc etc etc.
Yep... no abuse of the system will happen at all... trust us... /s
Back in olden times (1980s), some idiot thought that mandating speedometers that could only go up to 85 mph would reduce accidents and save lives. The theory was that it would eliminate the thrill factor of seeing 3-digit speeds on the speedometer.
I owned one such car. I can assure you, it didn’t work.
AI won’t even drive 55
What will police departments do for revenue once the revenue from speeding tickets is eliminated?
The mandate only lasted a few years. It was mandated for the 1980s but some manufacturers started making 85 mph analog speedometers in the mid-1970s. Instead of slowing down, drivers found they could "bury the needle" a lot easier on a car that had an 85 mph speedometer versus the older 120 mph one.
