I feel like this is going to add costs to cars only to create significant annoyances. There are already too many chimes and alerts in new cars, as they become increasingly complicated and impose a lot of intrusive monitoring. As I understand it, each time traffic brakes to slow below the threshold and speeds back up, there will be an alert with an audible sound.
It’ll be especially frustrating for drivers because posted speed limits are often too low. For example on highways pretty much everyone can drive at 75 safely, and the left lane rarely goes below that.
Not to mention, I’m concerned this is just an initial bill to normalize nanny state behavior, with the next potentially becoming more surveillance state (like reporting your speed and location).
Side note: I believe this is one of 10+ bills being pushed by CA Senator Scott Weiner, who also is behind the AI regulatory capture bill that the CA Senate passed last night. His initial bill text here actually pushed for active control that overrides the driver’s intent and caps the speed, so we know where the slippery slope is headed.
