(KTLA) — The California Senate has passed SB 961, which would require “passive speed limiters” to be installed in all new cars manufactured or sold in the Golden State by 2032.
The motion, introduced by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would make California the first state in the nation to enact the safety requirement, which is similar to a law in the European Union that is set to take effect in July.
“Passive speed governors, also referred to as passive Intelligent Speed Assistance…warn drivers with audible and visual signals when they exceed the speed limit by greater than ten miles per hour,” Senator Wiener’s office said.
In the E.U.’s initiative, drivers are “always in control and can easily override” the intelligent speed assistance system.
