California Bill Proposes Mandatory Speed Alerts for New Vehicles

Legislation awaits Governor Newsom's decision, aiming to reduce speeding-related fatalities with intelligent speed assistance technology.

The bill requires new vehicles to alert drivers when exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph.
If signed, the law will apply to 2030 model year vehicles and beyond, with certain exemptions.
The technology will provide a brief visual and audio signal without recording data or limiting speed.
California would be the first U.S. state to implement such a requirement, following the EU's example.
Supporters argue it will enhance road safety, while critics raise concerns about driver distraction and personal freedom.
