California could eventually join the European Union in requiring all new cars to alert drivers when they break the speed limit.

California could eventually join the European Union in requiring all new cars to alert drivers when they break the speed limit, a proposal aimed at reducing traffic deaths that would likely impact motorists across the country should it become law.

The technology, known as intelligent speed assistance, uses GPS technology to compare a vehicle's speed with a dataset of posted speed limits. Once the car is at least 10 m.p.h. over the speed limit, the system would emit “a brief, one-time visual and audio signal to alert the driver.”It would not require California to maintain a list of posted speed limits. That would be left to manufacturers.

Last year, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended federal regulators require all new cars to alert drivers when speeding. Their recommendation came after a crash in January 2022 when a man with a history of speeding violations was traveling more than 100 m.p.h. when he ran a red light and hit a minivan, killing himself and eight other people.
