Comment on USA | California governor vetoes bill requiring speeding alerts in new cars

BigDiction@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

I generally liked Scott Weiner’s legislation but am glad this bill was vetoed.

My RAV4 already detects the limit sign, displays the posted speed on the dash, and turns that limit red when traveling 10 over. It makes me aware of what the limit is without a distracting beep that could be confused with other warnings already implemented like rapidly slowing traffic ahead.

Safety Saturation is a real thing. If the car starts beeping for going with the flow of a traffic then drivers just start ignoring them all.
