The European Union (EU) has taken a huge leap to limit the driving speed for new car models in the future. 

According to the latest report, all new vehicles coming to the European market will have a special anti-speeding system called Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).

This technology's implementation is expected to start in July 2024.

Anti-Speeding Technology For EU Car Models

All new vehicles that will enter the EU market will adopt a new anti-speeding technology beginning July 2024.

For next-gen monitoring of speed limits, the ISA technology will be used to check if the driver exceeds the normal speed limit on the road. According to Mashable, this system is useful because it helps the drivers to lessen their speed until they reach the required speed limit.

This anti-speeding technology uses deep learning and even incorporates map data and cameras. 

As per the European Commission, this system is intended to avoid the occurrence of vehicular crashes on the highway and other locations because of overspeeding. In line with this, the organization cites that around 30% of fatal crashes often occur because of "excessive speed."

To test its effectiveness for the future car models that will debut in Europe, a PROSPER test project was conducted. The experiment involves measuring the incidents of crashes because of overspeeding.

As such, the project suggests that implementing the anti-speeding tech could likely decrease fatalities by around 19 to 28%. However, this depends on the country where the accident takes place.

To ramp up the rollout of this system, the carmakers might want to consider adding them to their upcoming car models. In doing so, a 26 to 50% reduction in fatalities is expected to happen.

How Can ISA Provide Feedback For Drivers

The regulation will offer various options for the driver's feedback to give you an idea of how the technology will work for the owner. This can be in the form of:

• haptic feedback through the acceleration pedal
• speed control
• vibrating warning
• acoustic warning

It should be noted that the feedback will depend on the choices of the automakers. However, the driver will still have the power to override any of the above-mentioned options.

Furthermore, the driver can increase the speed of his/her car even though the system automatically decreases its speed. To do so, the driver can tap the acceleration pedal "a little bit deeper."

If it becomes too exploitative for the car owner, then it's time to deactivate the anti-speed technology in the car. Still, this system is subject to change before it becomes available in the future.

In another story, UK-based news outlet Bristol Press reports that the CT Department of Transportation's Office of Highway Safety has collaborated with the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the US to enforce speed limits this upcoming summer.

The implementation will begin on Sept. 5, alerting drivers regarding overspeeding dangers. It will also tackle the driver's behavior.
