What if our cars didn’t allow us to speed? Or, at least, strongly encouraged us not to speed?
We could help motorists avoid speeding — and therefore reduce emissions and fuel use[1], improve traffic flow[2], reduce crashes[3], lower insurance costs[4], make streets feel safer[5] to walk and cycle – and totally avoid speeding fines.
Reducing speeding is crucial[6] if we are to reduce the rising road toll. More than 1,200 people were killed[7] on Australian roads in the past year.
It’s no wonder Australians want this technology – 81%[8] believe “intelligent speed assist” technology is important for making roads safer.
