I agree. That people appear not to know this causes me despair. It’s SO easy to push back on all this, at this moment. It just takes enough people to go on a buyers’ strike and pressure will be placed on millions of people, whose livelihoods depend upon automotive turnover. But too many are sitting their hands.
@GT380man Yep, it such an easy target to push back on this. Say no to limiters; make it easier to break the law. Make roads safer; speed everywhere. I’m sure it will be a doddle to mount a legitimate campaign to reverse the decision. Look at how successful the campaigns were to ban the use of speed cameras.
@@GT380man "It’s SO easy to push back on all this, at this moment. It just takes enough people to go on a buyers’ strike and pressure will be placed on millions of people," 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@GT380man The problem having worked in the motor trade, is general apathy of the average car buyer nowadays, who has no interest in cars or driving they only have a car because it's a convivence, thats why you find a lot of new cars sold are little shopping trollies, that you find driving down 50 mph limit roads at 35mph, or sat in the middle lane on motorways at 45mph, what needs to happen is proper driver education, not just taught how to pass a test.
@@Stijn5Of course they can. Speed limiters are software driven and can and simply be turned off. If what you say is true, the emergency services will not be able to exceed the speed limit yet you know that they will. This is merely a software switch.
Australia still imports some diesel Euro 5 model from South America. Plus Mercedes R171 & R172’s are coded for each country of sale, eg UK cars show km/hour all the time, instead of outside temp… Plus mpg instead of litres/km - So programming for country of sale is possible….?
Don't laugh too soon. Have a close look at some light operated crossings. Noticed any palm reading sensors? Noticed the pedestrian directed cameras? This isn't for "safety" it's so that your ID is connected with your walking & the first fine you will get is when you cross the road when the lights aren't permitting you to do so. Thus, on an empty road you will still have to use the lights on the crossing and wait at the side of the road until you are told yo go. It's the globalists Utopia and our Dystopia.
That would mean MORE casualties as they won't be able to move quick enough to avoid all the cyclists and battery scooterists illegally using the pavements.
My new Mazda I’ve had for 5 weeks is fitted with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA). Driving on a 60mph road and getting continuous audio chimes because the system has picked a 20mph sign on a side road is a major distraction. I turn off my audio warning all the time as identifying the wrong speed limit sign or failing to pick up the correct limit happens regularly. The Mazda manual encourages you not to turn off the speed audio warnings as it turns off all the other audio warnings. Unfortunately you have too as it regularly identifies the wrong limit. If cars were forced to slow down I can see accidents happening and a lot of road rage.
Yup, same with my Vauxhall. It gets the speed limit wrong more than it gets it right. This is the real problem. Not that it makes you stick to the limit, but it could make you drive dangerously slow because it doesn't work.
@Trev5 Not sure that is possible. They're required to use cameras to read speed limit signs, but the cameras can't differentiate between speed limit signs for the road you are on, and signs relating to other nearby roads. We can see a speed sign and know that it isn't for us, but the cars can't. They just aren't as smart as humans.
"But why would having a speed limiter upset you if you're not breaking the law" It wouldn't. But then after they've used that argument to convince you to bully me and we all comply. Then they change the law.

I don't know how you come up with that but the UK is signed up to UNECE WP29 on the harmonisation of vehicle regulations. It makes it simpler and cheaper for manufacturers if countries have the same vehicle specs. You are allowed to make some small changes to the vehicle regs for your country but you need to have that desire to exclude something stupid like this.
@@Fubar_The_WEF Oh, they will. The more differences in cars far only one country, the more expensive to produce. That's why BMW produces all its cars with seat heating, even if you don't tick that option box.

It's a stepping stone towards fully autonomous transport where Government regulators will have complete control, not only will speed be controlled but also who can be permitted to travel and where they can travel?
As usual, most car users are either only vaguely aware of these creeping enforcement innovations, can't or won't see the harm, or are completely ignorant of what's already happened. I foresee that the Starmer government will form an unholy alliance with the Greens and others to effectively legislate most ICE vehicles off the roads of the UK by 2030. This can be easily achieved by limiting supplies of fuel to retailers, and/or raising the duty to astronomical levels all in the cause of achieving some spurious carbon-zero target. Be warned !!

It sounds like “why to invest in speed cameras? Let the car manufacturers spend some more money“. The result, higher prices for the cars. And step by step I believe we move towards a new era where we have less and less control over the products we pay for.
If drivers did what they should do, these things would not have to happen. Drive within the speed limit. If max is 20, min is 10, so drivers should be driving at 15.
I’ve just traveled from Great Yarmouth to Somerset cross country, no motorways, a total of 295 miles mainly on 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70 mph roads , never had a problem keeping within the speed limit using my brain and right foot accordingly,,,,no technology, just me,,,sometimes you need to accelerate to get out of a situation or have an accident,,,,
Accidents are caused by tailgaters, not speed. Every accident, I've ever seen has been a rear end shunt due to the person behind driving too close. It's another lie told to us by our overlords. If they were serious about safety, they would remove all the distractions like touch screens etc. Also the massive road side media screens everywhere. These all distract the drivers, so it's bollocks saying it's road safety. It's about control and taking more of your freedoms away.
Why don't they leave vehicles alone. I can see more accidents with people trying to overtake and the speed limiter kicking in . Used car prices will increase now and new car sales plummit. I don't believe Admiral's claim of 47% in favour of speed limiters insurance companies will love this tech
Whether or not we have these cars ourselves, we are all going to be stuck behind them. Maybe the silver lining is the driver in front actually reaching the limit, rather than cautiously doing 15mph.
we have van trackers at work - they always report if speeding - yet its amazing how many times they are on the motorway and the trackers state the speed limit should be 40mph because it thinks they are on a main road next to the motorway. Imagine if your car dramatically slows to 40mph while in traffic doing 70mph in the fast lane
Control is everything! Humanity will be peasants, once again, obeying the Lord, and Lady ruling elites! For some reason there's always people on this planet, every generation, who think they deserve to rule everyone else! Always has been! Why, don't know? Science should look if some are born with a Karen gene!
All these modern safety systems only seem to be an annoyance and a distraction. The only driver aids I approve of are those systems that monitor driver alertness. With all these ultra slow speed limits one needs something to keep alert.

We here in the US are looking at the same mandates with speed limiters and also including breathalyzers. In addition, there are lawmakers that are proposing that blood analysis technology to test for illicit drug use and cameras monitoring both driver and passengers in order to catch improper behavior to be added. When any government issues mandates for public health and safety to save lives, it is always just more government intrusion into personal privacy and restrictions on freedom and control of the behavior of the populous. They want to know and be able to visually observe at all times where you are. Where you are going? What you are doing? Hear what you a saying. It all about controlling people.
Personal transport is of course convenient- road raging recklessness must be stopped; if it takes new technology to do it then so be it. Life should be cherished, not put at risk.
It will be interesting to see if they attempt to roll this out for motorcycles eventually, despite the technology being tested by MIRA about 15 years ago and deemed impossible to do safely. Due to the complex dynamics at play when riding a motorcycle, even a momentary interruption in power at the wrong time would be disastrous while cornering. Imagine being banked over at 50mph - then the ISA misreads the road at 30?
Years ago a i was at home with a few friends, one of them stopped breathing and went blue. I drove him to the hospital at nearly 4 time the speed limit and he lived.
the idea of limiting to 70mph on a motorway is less scary than being limited to 20mph on a wide empty road at 1am. It's actually dangerous because someone in a car without this could slam right into the back of you because you're travelling so slow.
In my GR Yaris the first thing I do every time I get in is turn off lane assist. Another piece of added stupidity for people who have no interest in driving!
I bought a new car in June. The limiter is there and has all the tech, but it isn't mandatory. My car gets the speed limit wrong more than it gets it right. I'm frequently going along at the speed limit, and the car decides that the speed limit is lower than it is and starts beeping at me. Fortunately, mine doesn't slow the car. It will be interesting to see who is liable the first time somebody is killed in an accident caused by the car slowing down erroneously.
What happens when the sat-nav system is not informed or not updated quickly enough about road works on motorways? I have a sat-nav that the last time I used a certain motorway, still showed a 50mph speed restricted section of roadworks and returned to 70mph years ago.
I had a conversation with our local Kia/Mazda dealership over a year ago regarding this initiative. He at that time denied any knowledge of this. Then had a conversation last week regarding our next car on PCP. We said no chance because of this new initiative. He said “oh” 😂

We shouldn't break the law, but we should have a choice whereby we can - that's called 'freedom'. It's that principle that's at stake.

Would you accept always having to be in handcuffs when in public, just so that you can't commit a POTENTIAL crime?

In order to overtake safely, there is often the need for temporary over-speed. The real-world road system is unpredictable, which is one reason why there will never be fully autonomous vehicles operating outside closed loop parameters.
I’m almost sure this already exists on some U.K. spec cars, but don’t quote me lol I’d have to look at a few at work (I sell almost new cars for a living) to be sure. I’m sure I’ve seen options for active speed limiter on or off in menus, or maybe I dreamt it??? 😂 This is gonna drive me crazy now, until I find a car with it already built in 😜🤣 Oh well, my daily driver is 40 years old soon, so it won’t directly effect me, but still, as you say, it takes away people’s skills! I’d love everyone to drive a 40 year old car like me! You have to actually think when driving, as there are absolutely no get you out of trouble features!
Here’s my comment for what it’s worth. Automatic speed limiters are a bad idea for the reasons you outlined in this video. I use my manual speed limiter or cruse control everywhere though and for this reason never speed anywhere. It’s great fun driving past the speed van or police officer with a speed gun at exactly the published speed limit.
My car has it now, you can switch it on or off in cruise but it recognises speed signs and adjusts the speed automatically - you can then tweek it up or down if you wish to whatever you want - You have to do that again if you want to alter it at whatever the next speed limit change is (ie 30-40 etc). It works really well, I'm sure its saved me many a ticket, its so easy to creep over a 20 limit.
Me too, I drive with my limiter on most of the time and do over 20k per year. It's saved me several times (a year) on motorways and on a few roads where they like to hide. The best time was the idiot desperate to overtake me while I was doing the speed limit in Birmingham. Came round a blind corner and there was a police officer with a camera right in front of us. From that point the guy behind me was perfectly happy doing the speed limit. I also loved the local volunteers who tracked me down the entire road when I was locked to exactly 40, I gave them a wave as they grimmised at me, my wife and cousin were both driving behind me and had caught me up so I saved them tickets too. At the end of the day you can put your foot hard on the accelerator if you need to get out of the way of someone, but the rest of the time it's nice to know you're not going to be funding more cameras and getting stealth taxed.
So the effect will be that no one will buy new cars! I won't ever get rid of my Mondeo 2007 or Hayabusa 2002! No shitty electronics deciding about what you can and cannot do!
How do they stop the public not buying newer cars in time to prevent the manufacturers going broke because after the EV debacle, manufacturers need some sales to stay in business.
The number of vehicles that speed without a second thought, are faced with an inbuilt restriction. If it saves lives and reduces accidents well and good, the jury is out. Adjust, society has wider and deeper needs.
Fully automated speed limiters based on current technology are dangerous. Not a mile from my house there is a bypass rated at 60 mph. However, as I approach the bypass 9, times of 10, my car fails to report the change in speed so I get an alarm telling me I am exceeding 30 mph when I am actually doing 40 in a 60. Where this gets dangerous is when roads of different speeds pass over each other such as the A46 East of Bath. The road is a 50 mph limit but as the A46 passes under the A46, which is a 30 mph junction, the system gets confused. For a short distance my car is confused and reports it should be doing 30 whilst in a 50. If the brakes were applied automatically, the sudden braking for no apparent reason would at some point result in me getting rear-ended.
OK first off, don't you think it's about time you turned your Star Trek badge into a mic that would look pretty cool. After all it was a coms badge, it may take a little doing but I'm sure it could be done. Secondly this is what happens when you have too many mad drivers around killing too many people, if this doesn't make people think they will take even more control away from the driver, we all suffer due to the nutcase drivers, hiking up our insurance and now having the throttle taken away to a large extent.
We're being penalised to stop us driving, and we're being controlled by rules that dont improve safety and no one needs as we are not children. Speed control is one step away from geofencing and 15 minutes of cities.. With auto shutdown technology that informs the police and locks you in your car if you go outside your area or otherwise break the rules, and if you can't see it coming, then you really need to wake up. 1984 came 40 years late, but it's here, my friend, and the answer is dont buy a new car or an electric car, and it won't happen. Wake up and realise that we are paying for and sleepwalking into our own slaughter. Wake up and stop thinking that this dystopian crap is anything helpful or useful because it's only useful to the globalists and of no use to you.
Good! I drive in London with lots of 20mph speed limits - actually rephrase that and its the real problem - lots of 20/30/20/40/20 speed limits that are clearly intended to catch you out by their variation. Going just a couple of mph over the speed limit at 20 is very easy to do, a fine is one thing but points are really harsh in this situation. So, I love that the car will automatically change my speed to the prevailing limit. Why on earth would I want to knowingly drive over the limit?? Embrace it, drive within the law and nothing to grizzle about.
@@ireallylovegod Not true - There is 100% speed control available to the driver. My current car does what you say, ie if it spots a sign by the side of the road it sometimes amends the speed to that, up or down - but it is overridden by using brakes or throttle immediately. The new version (version 2 ) is controlled using GPS, Road Signs, and internal mapping - however, it is completely overridable. See here: "The new speed limit software, also called Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), is a system designed to automatically regulate a car's speed based on the posted limit. Here's a breakdown of how it works: Using a combination of technologies: GPS data: The car's GPS system tracks its location and identifies the road it's on. Speed sign recognition cameras: Cameras mounted on the car scan for speed limit signs along the road. Sat-nav (satellite navigation): The car's navigation system can also provide stored speed limit information for specific roads. By comparing this information, the ISA system can determine the current speed limit. Enforcing the speed limit: If the car goes above the limit, the ISA can intervene in a couple of ways (depending on the manufacturer's choice): Warnings: The system might give audible or visual warnings like beeps or flashing lights on the dashboard. Engine power restriction: In some cases, the ISA can limit engine power to gradually reduce the car's speed down to the legal limit. It won't slam on the brakes but instead make it harder to accelerate. Driver override: Drivers typically have the option to override the ISA by pressing firmly on the accelerator pedal. This deactivates the system for that journey, but it usually resets upon restarting the car. Important to note: ISA is meant to be an assistant, not an autonomous driving system. The ultimate responsibility for following the speed limit lies with the driver. While some systems may restrict engine power, they are not designed to bring the car to a complete stop. This technology is being implemented with the aim of improving road safety by reducing speeding violations. In short, its safer and quite frankly will stop you having to peer at your speedo constantly, or if you are a chav, you can just floor it everywhere as normal
I remember Nissan gtr being limited to 115mph unless you're on a track. It'd be interesting to see what percentage of those cars on the road still have that working.
As I recall "all" JDM cars were speed limited from new, because I bought a JDM import in the 90's and the limiter had been programmed out, so I suspect it'll happen to new cars sold now at some point. 🤞🤞🤞
If they the government were interested in road safety they would ban car manufacturers from producing cars capable of exceeding the current max speed limit
What you've got here is a combination of two things; 1) Drivers just will not obey the limit unless someone is forcing them to, and 2) The campaign by some that limits should be 10mph under what you intend because people will always exceed it. It sucks, but it was inevitable.
A couple of years ago i got done doing 46 in a 40 zone. Fair cop. Since I don't want to get done again I do my best not to exceed the speed limit. When doing 20 in a 20 zone I am continually bullied by drivers behind. I spend time looking at the speedo and those behind. It's stressful, really stressful. Please do a video on this BCG. Is 20mph really the answer?
The problem/issue here is not the speed. It's the control they will have. A mechanism that auto correct the speed is a wonderful idea. However, if they use the same mechanism to control whether you are allowed to drive on a particular day then that's the issue that concerns me
Facetious or not, your idea won't work, the system requires data from those and from the ABS system to determine road speed, blocking them returns a 'null' value which international triggers a vehicle error and prevents the car fron going anywhere, for safety reasons of course. Simply blocking/obstructing these things stops the vehicle from moving any further. The way to prevent them is electronic avoidance by recoding the software to not look at them and to "forget" these things need checking and /or monitoring if checked initially. Obfuscation will never work.
Don't panic, don't buy a new car, let the auto makers panic at low sales, let the governments panic at low tax revenue and leave the EU panic at all of the above.
Could you imagine overtaking a car on a 60mph zone and the car you are overtaking is doing 55mph and you indicate and pull out and hit the limiter and has a head on because you could not hit the gas to complete the gas. Will the police have the ability to cut the power of your car remotely? I got driven off the road by a lorry once and I did not have enough power to fully overtake on a dual carriageway. I do not want to work out what buttons to press when in an emergency. I do not believe in FSD and lane assist. GPS signals are worse in Cities with a lot of high rise buildings. The people surveyed are probably the same people that the give way to pedestrians on into junctions. The most annoying road is the A40 is the London 30mph on the average speed limit zone with 3 lanes available. Does it also account for roadworks and smart motorways, people will have to use their brains - that is never good (See UK elections where they were all of automatic self driving mode off a cliff) I do not have an issue with this as I am always falling into 60-50 or 30 zones without knowing, I do not agree with tracking and this will tracking and the automatic guilt through driver telemetry. New EV and new gas cars are just expensive 10 year IOT disposable devices on wheels, could you imagine getting a new screen for your 20 year old EV? There are too many bespoke screens and the cybersecurity on these IOT devices after 10 years will be a dangerous nightmare for software updates. Will netflix/Disney+/RUclips work on these infotainment systems.
HGV's have to put up with that and have done for year they used to temporary disable them by removing the fuse. So do the same to these when they come in.
I have a Kia Niro HEV which I love but the one thing that I really hate about it is that the lane assist is ON by default and if I forget to turn it off I drive down the street I live in which has parked cars on both sides and as soon as I pull out to overtake the first parked car my steering wheel is yanked back alarmingly. Why is this feature ON by default?!! This speeding thing will be even worse.
I've had one for four years now, it's great! You can turn them off! Great for average speed camera zones. A bit like the anti -khan stuff. The massive rises in car insurance is a much bigger issue
Hopefully car manufacturers will do the bare minimum and just bolt it on so it can be easily removed by their customers. Otherwise there's a lot of expensive car brands, especially european ones, that'll be complaining a lot.
I also think perhaps it should have been brought in for drivers who have been convicted of speeding offenses, it should have been put on their license that they are only allowed to drive cars that have speed limiters fitted, and it should be permenantly on their license plus it must be declared for insurance perposes, failure to declare carries 3 year ban minimum first offense increasing by two years each time caught, after it is placed on their license. That would solve a lot of the problems.
@@Mr4fksake Or maybe the person speeding startles the driver into making mistakes. There is always more than one way to look at these things.

To all car drivers welcome to the world of Hgv drivers 😂, what nobody has mentioned is when you get stopped by the police they can hook up a device to your car and check how many times you have over ridden the speed limiter and you will have to prove why you did it otherwise you'll be fined and points 😮

Yep, it such an easy target to push back on this. Say no to limiters; make it easier to break the law. Make roads safer; speed everywhere. I’m sure it will be a doddle to mount a legitimate campaign to reverse the decision. Look at how successful the campaigns were to ban the use of speed cameras.

@@GT380man The problem having worked in the motor trade, is general apathy of the average car buyer nowadays, who has no interest in cars or driving they only have a car because it's a convivence, thats why you find a lot of new cars sold are little shopping trollies, that you find driving down 50 mph limit roads at 35mph, or sat in the middle lane on motorways at 45mph, what needs to happen is proper driver education, not just taught how to pass a test.

Don't laugh too soon. Have a close look at some light operated crossings. Noticed any palm reading sensors? Noticed the pedestrian directed cameras? This isn't for "safety" it's so that your ID is connected with your walking & the first fine you will get is when you cross the road when the lights aren't permitting you to do so. Thus, on an empty road you will still have to use the lights on the crossing and wait at the side of the road until you are told yo go. It's the globalists Utopia and our Dystopia.

My new Mazda I’ve had for 5 weeks is fitted with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA). Driving on a 60mph road and getting continuous audio chimes because the system has picked a 20mph sign on a side road is a major distraction. I turn off my audio warning all the time as identifying the wrong speed limit sign or failing to pick up the correct limit happens regularly. The Mazda manual encourages you not to turn off the speed audio warnings as it turns off all the other audio warnings. Unfortunately you have too as it regularly identifies the wrong limit. If cars were forced to slow down I can see accidents happening and a lot of road rage.
Block the sensors.
@@s99614 put gaffer tape over the sensor job done
Yup, same with my Vauxhall. It gets the speed limit wrong more than it gets it right. This is the real problem. Not that it makes you stick to the limit, but it could make you drive dangerously slow because it doesn't work.
Should take the cars back to the dealer and force manufacturers to fix it…..?
@Trev5 Not sure that is possible. They're required to use cameras to read speed limit signs, but the cameras can't differentiate between speed limit signs for the road you are on, and signs relating to other nearby roads.
We can see a speed sign and know that it isn't for us, but the cars can't. They just aren't as smart as humans.

Oh well, my daily driver is 40 years old soon, so it won’t directly effect me, but still, as you say, it takes away people’s skills!
I’d love everyone to drive a 40 year old car like me! You have to actually think when driving, as there are absolutely no get you out of trouble features!
You can turn the system off.
Here’s my comment for what it’s worth. Automatic speed limiters are a bad idea for the reasons you outlined in this video. I use my manual speed limiter or cruse control everywhere though and for this reason never speed anywhere. It’s great fun driving past the speed van or police officer with a speed gun at exactly the published speed limit.
My car has it now, you can switch it on or off in cruise but it recognises speed signs and adjusts the speed automatically - you can then tweek it up or down if you wish to whatever you want - You have to do that again if you want to alter it at whatever the next speed limit change is (ie 30-40 etc). It works really well, I'm sure its saved me many a ticket, its so easy to creep over a 20 limit.
Me too, I drive with my limiter on most of the time and do over 20k per year. It's saved me several times (a year) on motorways and on a few roads where they like to hide. The best time was the idiot desperate to overtake me while I was doing the speed limit in Birmingham. Came round a blind corner and there was a police officer with a camera right in front of us. From that point the guy behind me was perfectly happy doing the speed limit. I also loved the local volunteers who tracked me down the entire road when I was locked to exactly 40, I gave them a wave as they grimmised at me, my wife and cousin were both driving behind me and had caught me up so I saved them tickets too.
At the end of the day you can put your foot hard on the accelerator if you need to get out of the way of someone, but the rest of the time it's nice to know you're not going to be funding more cameras and getting stealth taxed.
So the effect will be that no one will buy new cars! I won't ever get rid of my Mondeo 2007 or Hayabusa 2002! No shitty electronics deciding about what you can and cannot do!
How do they stop the public not buying newer cars in time to prevent the manufacturers going broke because after the EV debacle, manufacturers need some sales to stay in business.
The number of vehicles that speed without a second thought, are faced with an inbuilt restriction. If it saves lives and reduces accidents well and good, the jury is out. Adjust, society has wider and deeper needs.
Fully automated speed limiters based on current technology are dangerous. Not a mile from my house there is a bypass rated at 60 mph. However, as I approach the bypass 9, times of 10, my car fails to report the change in speed so I get an alarm telling me I am exceeding 30 mph when I am actually doing 40 in a 60.
Where this gets dangerous is when roads of different speeds pass over each other such as the A46 East of Bath. The road is a 50 mph limit but as the A46 passes under the A46, which is a 30 mph junction, the system gets confused. For a short distance my car is confused and reports it should be doing 30 whilst in a 50. If the brakes were applied automatically, the sudden braking for no apparent reason would at some point result in me getting rear-ended.
OK first off, don't you think it's about time you turned your Star Trek badge into a mic that would look pretty cool.
After all it was a coms badge, it may take a little doing but I'm sure it could be done.
Secondly this is what happens when you have too many mad drivers around killing too many people, if this doesn't make people think they will take even more control away from the driver, we all suffer due to the nutcase drivers, hiking up our insurance and now having the throttle taken away to a large extent.
Indeed, like the nutcase driver that was behind me this morning. Love the badge/mic idea. Will look into that 🤣🖖🏽
We're being penalised to stop us driving, and we're being controlled by rules that dont improve safety and no one needs as we are not children.

Good! I drive in London with lots of 20mph speed limits - actually rephrase that and its the real problem - lots of 20/30/20/40/20 speed limits that are clearly intended to catch you out by their variation. Going just a couple of mph over the speed limit at 20 is very easy to do, a fine is one thing but points are really harsh in this situation. So, I love that the car will automatically change my speed to the prevailing limit. Why on earth would I want to knowingly drive over the limit?? Embrace it, drive within the law and nothing to grizzle about.
@@ireallylovegod Not true - There is 100% speed control available to the driver. My current car does what you say, ie if it spots a sign by the side of the road it sometimes amends the speed to that, up or down - but it is overridden by using brakes or throttle immediately. The new version (version 2 ) is controlled using GPS, Road Signs, and internal mapping - however, it is completely overridable. See here:
"The new speed limit software, also called Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), is a system designed to automatically regulate a car's speed based on the posted limit. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
Using a combination of technologies:
GPS data: The car's GPS system tracks its location and identifies the road it's on.
Speed sign recognition cameras: Cameras mounted on the car scan for speed limit signs along the road.
Sat-nav (satellite navigation): The car's navigation system can also provide stored speed limit information for specific roads.
By comparing this information, the ISA system can determine the current speed limit.
Enforcing the speed limit:
If the car goes above the limit, the ISA can intervene in a couple of ways (depending on the manufacturer's choice):
Warnings: The system might give audible or visual warnings like beeps or flashing lights on the dashboard.
Engine power restriction: In some cases, the ISA can limit engine power to gradually reduce the car's speed down to the legal limit. It won't slam on the brakes but instead make it harder to accelerate.
Driver override:
Drivers typically have the option to override the ISA by pressing firmly on the accelerator pedal. This deactivates the system for that journey, but it usually resets upon restarting the car.
Important to note:
ISA is meant to be an assistant, not an autonomous driving system. The ultimate responsibility for following the speed limit lies with the driver.
While some systems may restrict engine power, they are not designed to bring the car to a complete stop.
This technology is being implemented with the aim of improving road safety by reducing speeding violations.
In short, its safer and quite frankly will stop you having to peer at your speedo constantly, or if you are a chav, you can just floor it everywhere as normal
I remember Nissan gtr being limited to 115mph unless you're on a track. It'd be interesting to see what percentage of those cars on the road still have that working.
As I recall "all" JDM cars were speed limited from new, because I bought a JDM import in the 90's and the limiter had been programmed out, so I suspect it'll happen to new cars sold now at some point. 🤞🤞🤞
Since Wales introduced the 20 mph speed limit, there has been more road deaths and accidents. yet the Welsh government is keeping hush about it.
Thank God I’m old. Never thought I’d say that. The world’s gone mad.
Been on the cards for years, that is why they tried bring in a law to stop you altering your vehicle prior to this.
If they the government were interested in road safety they would ban car manufacturers from producing cars capable of exceeding the current max speed limit
What you've got here is a combination of two things; 1) Drivers just will not obey the limit unless someone is forcing them to, and 2) The campaign by some that limits should be 10mph under what you intend because people will always exceed it. It sucks, but it was inevitable.
A couple of years ago i got done doing 46 in a 40 zone. Fair cop. Since I don't want to get done again I do my best not to exceed the speed limit. When doing 20 in a 20 zone I am continually bullied by drivers behind. I spend time looking at the speedo and those behind. It's stressful, really stressful. Please do a video on this BCG. Is 20mph really the answer?
The problem/issue here is not the speed.
It's the control they will have.
A mechanism that auto correct the speed is a wonderful idea. However, if they use the same mechanism to control whether you are allowed to drive on a particular day then that's the issue that concerns me
If they force you to follow the speed limit, they will lose out on all that revenue. Do you really think governments want to lose all that revenue
We need it because so many drivers cannot manage to drive to the speed limits. Their fault.
classic car prices will rocket
Ali foil blocking the GPS antenna and grease over the sign reading camera lens will sort it out...
Facetious or not, your idea won't work, the system requires data from those and from the ABS system to determine road speed, blocking them returns a 'null' value which international triggers a vehicle error and prevents the car fron going anywhere, for safety reasons of course.
Simply blocking/obstructing these things stops the vehicle from moving any further. The way to prevent them is electronic avoidance by recoding the software to not look at them and to "forget" these things need checking and /or monitoring if checked initially.
Obfuscation will never work.
Don't panic, don't buy a new car, let the auto makers panic at low sales, let the governments panic at low tax revenue and leave the EU panic at all of the above.
Could you imagine overtaking a car on a 60mph zone and the car you are overtaking is doing 55mph and you indicate and pull out and hit the limiter and has a head on because you could not hit the gas to complete the gas. Will the police have the ability to cut the power of your car remotely? I got driven off the road by a lorry once and I did not have enough power to fully overtake on a dual carriageway. I do not want to work out what buttons to press when in an emergency. I do not believe in FSD and lane assist. GPS signals are worse in Cities with a lot of high rise buildings.
The people surveyed are probably the same people that the give way to pedestrians on into junctions. The most annoying road is the A40 is the London 30mph on the average speed limit zone with 3 lanes available. Does it also account for roadworks and smart motorways, people will have to use their brains - that is never good (See UK elections where they were all of automatic self driving mode off a cliff)
I do not have an issue with this as I am always falling into 60-50 or 30 zones without knowing, I do not agree with tracking and this will tracking and the automatic guilt through driver telemetry.
New EV and new gas cars are just expensive 10 year IOT disposable devices on wheels, could you imagine getting a new screen for your 20 year old EV? There are too many bespoke screens and the cybersecurity on these IOT devices after 10 years will be a dangerous nightmare for software updates. Will netflix/Disney+/RUclips work on these infotainment systems.
HGV's have to put up with that and have done for year they used to temporary disable them by removing the fuse. So do the same to these when they come in.
I have a Kia Niro HEV which I love but the one thing that I really hate about it is that the lane assist is ON by default and if I forget to turn it off I drive down the street I live in which has parked cars on both sides and as soon as I pull out to overtake the first parked car my steering wheel is yanked back alarmingly. Why is this feature ON by default?!! This speeding thing will be even worse.
I've had one for four years now, it's great! You can turn them off! Great for average speed camera zones. A bit like the anti -khan stuff. The massive rises in car insurance is a much bigger issue
@@ireallylovegod You can turn them off, don't believe the bs
So where will they get the money to replace all the speeding fines?
Hopefully car manufacturers will do the bare minimum and just bolt it on so it can be easily removed by their customers. Otherwise there's a lot of expensive car brands, especially european ones, that'll be complaining a lot.
Imagine buying a £500k Lamborghini and finding you cannot get it over 20mph.
I also think perhaps it should have been brought in for drivers who have been convicted of speeding offenses, it should have been put on their license that they are only allowed to drive cars that have speed limiters fitted, and it should be permenantly on their license plus it must be declared for insurance perposes, failure to declare carries 3 year ban minimum first offense increasing by two years each time caught, after it is placed on their license.
That would solve a lot of the problems.
Wake up and get a life, it's usually someone else that causes an accident, not necessarily the one speeding !!
@@Mr4fksake Or maybe the person speeding startles the driver into making mistakes.
There is always more than one way to look at these things.
I don't like it any more than you but there are some real nut jobs driving around on the roads today, unfortunately all the good drivers will have to suffer because of them, exactly the same way your insurence goes up every year, well thank them for it.
To all car drivers welcome to the world of Hgv drivers 😂, what nobody has mentioned is when you get stopped by the police they can hook up a device to your car and check how many times you have over ridden the speed limiter and you will have to prove why you did it otherwise you'll be fined and points 😮
Dont believe people want this at all unless they're non drivers.
Looks like one daren't get old or have a health problems, daren't try to work out how many hours/days i've waited for buses yet so worried about ill health and then unable to walk far. Tfl is crap and i for one refuse to use it!!
Even kh.nt wont wait for a bus!
Pointless buying a high speed super car now, so that's Aston Martin closing down then, not if they could do something about people riding push bikes on the pavements?
I have no problem with speed limiters, but I do have a problem with councils lowering the speed limit, heck why aren’t cars limited to 85 max in the U.K. now is beyond me
My speed limiter is my right foot. When it gets tired, I press harder.😂
I ride a Kawasaki ZZR1441. I cannot understand why we need to be limited in speed. I never break the speed limits on it. I never broke the limit on any of the 6 Hayabusa I have previously owned either.
if nobody buys new cars they will have a problem
