Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a California bill requiring new cars to include speed alert systems, aiming to curb increasing traffic fatalities linked to speeding.
Speeding accounts for nearly one-third of traffic fatalities in the U.S., prompting advocates for the bill to make California the first state to implement such technology.
Intelligent speed assistance systems have shown success in Europe, as research indicates they reduce driving speeds, which aligns with national safety initiatives recommended by transportation authorities.
The proposed legislation aimed for compliance by 2030 and included audio-visual alerts for new vehicles while exempting emergency vehicles and those lacking GPS.
