Europe will require carmakers to install speed limiters from 2022
Some cars are equipped with cruise control, auto driving or parking, and/or emergency braking systems. And auto-driving or self-driving cars are about to be introduced. However, most cars are still and will be driven by human drivers. Whether to keep or exceed the speed limit is still at the driver’s discretion, at least for a while. But after 2002, that freedom is going to be limited by the safety mechanism in EU countries. Under the new safety rules, all new cars need to have intelligent speed assistance systems as standard equipment. No particular technologies or specifications are announced to meet the new rule. Auto manufacturers and their technology partners have to come up with practical solutions to safely control the speed whether by using the digital map data or checking the signs on the road, neither of which is updated regularly or standardized. In any case, such a speed control system is required for auto-driving vehicles. So, why not?
Enjoy reading and imagine the traffic that all cars drive at the same speed.
