Europe is now mandating intelligent speed limiters, so I don't know what you are getting on about.
- MontyCarloHall 4y agoNo, they are not. Cars must alert the driver if they are exceeding the speed limit, but there is no forced limiting. https://jalopnik.com/no-europe-didnt-just-force-automakers-to-install-spee-1849191252 https://jalopnik.com/no-europe-didnt-just-force-automakers-t...
- Drunk_Engineer 4y agoMany expect the EU to eventually remove override capabilities as the systems become more widespread.
- Akronymus 4y agoBasically impossible to get through. As there are often cases where it picks up a speed limit from something like the off ramp on the equivalent of a highway. Which would be dangerous if it suddenly decelerated from 130 to 80.
- mr_toad 4y agoSpeed limiters aren’t connected to the brakes, just the throttle.
- Akronymus 4y agoWell, at least mine is actually connected to the brakes.
- Drunk_Engineer 4y ago"ISA [Intelligent Speed Assist] systems do not automatically apply the brakes, but simply limit engine power preventing the vehicle from accelerating past the current speed limit unless overridden." See https://etsc.eu/intelligent-speed-assistance-isa/ https://etsc.eu/intelligent-speed-assistance-isa/ for list of vehicles.

- Drunk_Engineer 4y agoACC is their collision avoidance system, which isn't part of the EU mandate.
