CALIFORNIA BILL WOULD REQUIRE NEW CARS TO BEEP AT SPEEDING DRIVERS 

“The evidence is clear: Rising levels of dangerous speeding are placing all
Californians in danger, and by taking prudent steps to improve safety, we can
save lives.” 

by Will Conybeare | May. 22, 2024




STORY AT A GLANCE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * “Passive speed governors, also referred to as passive Intelligent Speed
   Assistance…warn drivers with audible and visual signals when they exceed the
   speed limit by greater than ten miles per hour.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * The California Senate has passed SB 961, which would require “passive speed
   limiters” to be installed in all new cars manufactured or sold in the Golden
   State by 2032. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * The European Union has a similar law set to take effect in July.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(KTLA) — The California Senate has passed SB 961, which would require “passive
speed limiters” to be installed in all new cars manufactured or sold in the
Golden State by 2032. 

The motion, introduced by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would make
California the first state in the nation to enact the safety requirement, which
is similar to a law in the European Union that is set to take effect in July.



“Passive speed governors, also referred to as passive Intelligent Speed
Assistance…warn drivers with audible and visual signals when they exceed the
speed limit by greater than ten miles per hour,” Senator Wiener’s office said.  

In the E.U.’s initiative, drivers are “always in control and can easily
override” the intelligent speed assistance system.

Stuck at a red light? You may need to let it know you’re there

According to Senator Wiener, California – and America as a whole – has seen a
“horrifying spike” in deaths of drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists over the
years, especially since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; the California
Office of Traffic Safety’s 2023 Traffic Safety Report found that deadly crashes
involving alcohol and drug-impaired driving, motorcyclist fatalities, and
teenage driver fatalities all increased from 2020 to 2021.

“These deaths are preventable, and they’re occurring because of policy choices
to tolerate dangerous roads,” Senator Wiener said in a statement. “The evidence
is clear: Rising levels of dangerous speeding are placing all Californians in
danger, and by taking prudent steps to improve safety, we can save lives.”

SB 961 would require every passenger vehicle, truck, and bus manufactured or
sold in California to be equipped with “passive speed governors” by 2032, with a
50% phase-in by 2029.  

What are the lights placed above traffic signals?

The bill’s speed governor requirement does not apply to emergency vehicles, the
senator’s office added. 



SB 961, which passed the Senate by a vote of 22-13 on Tuesday, now moves to the
State Assembly, where it must pass by Aug. 31.
