A bill passed by the California legislature and awaiting Governor Gavin Newsom’s signature will require vehicles made or sold in the state to include ‘intelligent speed assistance,’ reports Brandon Downs for CBS News.

The bill would take effect starting with 2030-year models and would require cars to warn drivers when they exceed speed limits. “The bill builds off a similar requirement that went into effect in the European Union in July and would make California the first state to pass a bill of this sort.”

The technology would alert drivers with visual and audio signals when they drive 10 miles over the speed limit. “It would not apply to emergency vehicles, motorcycles or passenger vehicles that are not equipped with either a GPS or front-facing camera.”
