I worked a job a decade ago where I had to drive a carpool van full of coworkers to a job site by way of an interstate highway. The speed of the van was GPS monitored and would make a beep and send a notification to my bosses if I went over the speed limit. The thing is, there was a VERY specific point on the highway where the GPS would glitch out and report that I was driving over 100mph. My bosses and I had a huge laugh one time when I got called into their office about it. There was a stop and go traffic jam that day and according to the GPS report, I somehow went from 5mph to 110mph and back down to 5mph in the span of 5 seconds. I joked about getting workman's comp for the whiplash.

While 100 or 180 mph isn't a problem, suddenly getting a ticket for doing 20 mph in a 55 zone would be... or, the car telling your insurance carrier that you were going 35 mph over the speed limit and raising your rates would be.

There are many times the driver needs power and speed immediately to avoid unsafe predicaments. Especially if the traffic is c becomes congested.

You can't be serious. This isn't about limiting power or acceleration. I'm certain that there would be a lot more deaths, especially of children, caused by speeding, than deaths caused by not being able to speed. The fact is that most people who speed don't do it to avoid accidents. They cause them. There is also the fact that apparently these limiters can be overridden by pressing hard on the accelerator. You can still accelerate as hard as you want to avoid an accident. You just have to put up with your car chiming at you, or reducing your speed unless you're punching it. If you're driving over the speed limit they cut in unless you jam your foot to the floor to 'avoid an accident'.

He won’t know what this truck can do until I think he is ready for it.” Well, turns out he adjusted the bolt that was mounted to the firewall underneath the gas pedal. There used to be quite a few vehicles that were produced with these. It didn’t take me long to discover what was limiting the performance. So when I would leave the house I would pull in somewhere and remove the bolt and then coming home would stop down the road and replace it. Good times.

My dad did something similar to that with the vacuum secondaries, but he also left it in place most of the time even when he was driving it around town on errands, either to try to disguise it further or the fuel saving. When I studied how the various rods & levers worked, I was able to remove the spring he used to hold the top flap closed, thus locking out the secondaries (like when the choke was on). Driving a 5L V8 on the primaries alone felt like a 4 cylinder. I think he probably realised I that I had worked it out based on the mileage and how much fuel I was using, because one day I pulled over to remove it, and it wasn’t there. It didn’t make a return until my brothers started driving, and by then I had my own car(s).

I drove to work for 28 years on back roads. The speed limit was 60 the whole way. Three years ago a one mile section dropped to 45. To any driver, there would be no explanation for it. Possibly car -count caused the change, but even with that, the road might have gone from 10 cars per hour to 20. Non-elected bureaucrats, sitting in their little cubicles, make decisions based on formulas and promotions (who's against safety?!). They couldn't care less who gets inconvenienced. Who gets unnecessary tickets (states love it). It is a win-win for them to get a tighter and tighter grip on us. People need to realize that every single day they keep stripping us of every freedom and they do it by millimeters. And we have no idea who is to blame because they hide in their cubicles..

Yep, we just had a major stroad near our home that was already a honey pot for speeding tickets with a 50 limit, but now its been reduced to 40. What was already an arbitrarily low limit was arbitrarily lowered again. Their justification was people were driving faster than the limit, so they lowered the limit to get people to drive the speed they really want. I cant wait for the first person to take that to court when they say "Yes I was over the posted limit but actually under the limit the city engineer intends for this road".

Governors don't necessarily limit the power if they limit the speed. The two are controlled independently. Often, companies will buy higher horsepower engines, because they are able to get more money for them when they sell them, but they will limit them. I drove for a company that put 800 cat engines in the trucks, but limited them to 600hp. Another tidbit is, all semi trucks built in at least the last few decades have governors. It's part of the electronic control system. Nothing stops a company from raising the limit to the point that it may as well not be governed though.

I took a small bus once with this feature built in. It was annoying AF. Basically, when it hit the limited speed, the engine would automatically lower. But since the driver didn't change the pressure on the gas pedal, it would immediately speed back up. So for sixty minutes or so, the whole bus was rocking forward and backward as it alternated between accelerating and decelerating at a period of about five seconds.

Since 'foot on the floor' was the default cruise control, we never really used it on the highway. Plus, the indicator on the dash was super super bright. It was interesting to learn that the speed limiter only worked on the throttle - going downhill, you could easily get the bus up to 80mph without realizing it.

This to me is not a safe idea. I feel that this could get a lot of people hurt if not killed. Another big concern is what if you was a first responder on a volunteer fire department?Sometimes every second counts and you’re on your way to an emergency somewhere and you feel safe to drive 62 but the speed limit is 55.

My 2014 BMW i3 built in 2013 has the version that slows you down. It is a car built for the US market! It only does it when you are in "ECO PRO" mode. When you reach 56MPH (Standard maximum speed limit in Germany) the car will stop accelerating and slow you down to 56MPH. You can bypass it by releasing pressure on the pedal and then quickly pushing back down. It's kind of annoying. The car also has Speed limit data built into the navigation. There are also special cameras in the rear-view mirror that can isolate and identify speed limit signs. It will display the speed limit signs it reads on the dash board. Sometimes it reads a route number sign and gets confused lol.

9:00 Big rig driver here. Yep, I often do spend my entire workday driving. Most of us are already stuck with employer-set speed governors restricting us to 65 or 68 mph. Supposedly our companies have insurance requirements pushing these limits on us. I've driven rigs programmed to even disengage the cruise control if I use the windshield wipers! I'll now transition into my periodic reminder rant for the car drivers out there. Those governors are part of the reason you car drivers reading this right now often get frustrated and stuck behind us when one big rig is ever so slowly passing another on a flat road; the damned governors are slightly inaccurate and different from each other, and so one guy is slightly faster. Each of us being about 100 feet long, if we're lucky enough to be 1 mph faster, that's 1.467 feet per second to cover 200 feet to pass, that's 2 minutes, 16 seconds or more. Add to that the difference in engine power and weight loads between rigs and a hill and inside versus outside lane, and you'll see one rig will be able to pass another, but not very quickly. By the way, most of the time, we really are not trying to be dicks to everyone else. Our giant trucks (which transport nearly everything that *all of us* buy -- we haul *your stuff)* are just naturally different in performance from cars. You don't expect a hippo and a hummingbird to move the same way, so don't expect it from us! Give us a break already. Leave us room and don't hover next to us, especially next to our tandems (the wheels at the back of our trailers). It's difficult to tell, looking about 100 feet back through a side mirror, whether you're completely behind us and not about to be crushed by us if we need to change lanes, such as to the "fast lane" in which you're loitering beside us, when we professionals with a better view ahead see the cops that you don't see, parked on the right side of the road with all their lights flashing *AND WE MUST BY LAW CLEAR THAT RIGHT LANE.* Oh, if you've never seen a trailer tire *explode,* sending huge chunks of thick, heavy tire tread all over (now you know how that debris ended up at the side of the road), trust me, you do *not* want to be next to it when it happens!

I drove for a delivery service years ago that tracked the trucks speed and would show if it were speeding to the home office. The problem is that in certain places where side roads came close to the interstate the system would show a MAJOR speeding violation from thinking I was on the side road and it's possible this could still happen and cause accidents.

My 2006 Ford Fusion already had a Rev Limiter that prevents the vehicle from going over 115 mph. That only applies to the model with the Automatic Transmission. Apparently the reason is that the vehicle becomes unstable at speeds higher than 115 mph but apparently doesn't become unstable on the models with the Manual Transmission.

Lots of cars have max speed limits - ranging from 100 to 130. My van is supposedly limited to 100mph - never tried to go that fast in it. My VW bug (2001) is supposedly limited to 130mph - not that it has the power to go that fast. A buddy tripped Mazda's limit in his racecar - smaller tires, so it's not actually going that fast. (mazda's answer - even for their own race teams - was to disable the ABS computer... put a switch under the accelerator to kill the ABS at WOT. My suggestion was to cut every other tooth off the sensors, but they're built into the axles.)

In 2022 I rented a Skoda Kodiaq(VW Atlas) in Denmark that had speed limit recognition. I was cruising at the speed limit, 80kph, on a main road, when I passed a gravel road that led to a campground. The gravel road had a speed limit of 10kph and the sign was visible as you drove past the road. One of the cameras must have detected that sign because the car slammed the brakes on, trying to get me down to 10kph. My brother in law was behind me and he almost rear ended me. In my opinion, they've got some bugs to work out.

I drove about 650 miles while I was in England last month. They have very strictly enforced speed laws. Apparently, I was bad at some point. As a result the rental car company (not Hertz) charged me £30 because of a ticket I got automatically on one of the many motorways I traveled on. In my defense, 😄 I'm used to traffic in Los Angeles that routinely speeds at 80 in a 55 without any enforcement whatsoever. 😂 My question is; would tickets be issued based on the indicated speed on the dash, or the calculated GPS speed? Those two are usually vastly different.

There are extremely few situations where you need to speed to be safe. There are vastly more situations where speeding makes you more likely to kill people. Overall it saves a lot of lives, including the driver and others nearby, simple no brainer. If you wanted to account for those few situations anyway, though, you could set it where you are allowed to speed over the limit up to 0.02% of your total driving time, allowing you to do so no problem for a few seconds a week in a dangerous rare intersection situation that comes up once. The version described in the video already includes a much more dramatic override system than that anyway, making your complaint moot for the EU versions already (I think it should be more limited override than that)

These cars are indeed being sold in the UK and other countries outside of the EU as well. In these countries the system is just laying in wait for their governments to enable it at their whim. I think people are also worried this telemetry speeding data will be shared with the car company to deny warranties, (like Toyota does for going over 85mph), to insurance companies to raise our rates, and with law enforcement. I bet we will even get our medical insurance raised too. "Tampering" will be used to void warranties as well if you dare to block the data transmission from the vehicle. Next step will be law enforcement being notified and registration being suspended for being non-compliant with it's legally mandated data sharing program.

They offered it to you for a discount. You could've just said, "No, thanks." and kept your policy as it was. I refuse to play their game - and I'm an agent. Telematics have been around for roughly fifteen years. I railed against it when they were talking about rolling the programs out. I didn't like their approach because the thresholds are too low and they don't take into account the vehicle, driver, or circumstances. They also don't track actual risky behavior like screwing around on your phone while driving, not using your signals, not doing a head check before changing lanes, or running/rolling a stop sign. That last one really ticks me off because the person who did stop may have gotten dinged for stopping too quickly. Which was more dangerous? I had a similar problem with credit scoring when that came out, too. And I let them know of my displeasure because I knew people who had something like a health problem that caused their credit to go into the toilet but they were safe drivers. At the same time, I knew people with impeccable credit who couldn't drive their way out of a wet paper bag. Two of those guys totaled Porsche 911s - one a Turbo S. Thus, proving my point. It is what it is and I get the rationale for it - the more responsible you are with your daily affairs, the more likely you are in other matters, like driving.

We had an event recently where there were temporary speed limit signs due to road works in progress. The normal speed limit on that road is 40 mph. So this car with it's speed limiter kept the cars speed to 40mph. So naturally the drivers foot is just on the floor, relying on the limiter to keep the speed within the limit. Then they came to the temporary sign which read "30". Unfortunately this was misread by the system as 80 so the speed immediately shot up to 80mph. Also, the car failed to notice that the drivers foot had come off of the throttle. It wasn't until the driver pushed down hard on the brakes that it finally slowed down. Fortunately nobody was injured but it could have been serious.

@@ICRangerTActually it has nothing to do with how the program is written. Your thinking if it's random access memory or read only memory. If the car's pc is read only and unalterable then just replace it. Not that tough, though might be expensive.

Most big truck carriers have their trucks governed typically somewhere between 63-72 mph as it is. Why do we need speedlimiters on trucks? I would say the bigger traffic safety problem is distracted driving( ie texting and driving or handheld cell phone use) and the need for cracking down on that is more important than limiters.

The speed limiters on trucks are for the companies. They are only on big company trucks and not independent owners' trucks. It lowers the insurance cost to mega carriers that hire under-trained truckers.

A computer having that control over brakes is a bad idea. Guarantee someone is going to have a glitch, manufacturer will know but not issue recalls and the owner will likely have to pay for any damages because it likely wont be covered by insurance.

1st, Thank you Steve for supporting Truckers. After Canada mandated Speed Limiters on Trucks, I stopped pulling Canadian loads. The FMCSA is trying again to put Speed Limiters on US trucks. The Trump Administration put a stop to the Rule Making, but now they're trying it again..

These systems are going to be screwy. Even if hackers don't manage to turn highways into 25mph zones as a prank, these things will break and cause breakdowns. Gonna have to pay extra for features that just add more things to cause problems.

Car companies are partnering with insurers. This feedback system will provide solid evidence to raise people's insurance rates and eliminate risky drivers from being provided coverage

@@wes52101 I have the tracker on my phone (Not the ODB tracker) and I was promised a discount on my insurance if I was a 'good driver.' I was. I didn't. There are hoards of specific people that are bad / risky drivers that are pilling up the claims here (canada) and everyone's rates have all gone up because of that. They're just making more compelling cases to deny your claims: "Vehicle has speed tracking technology / driver was warned several times but driver defied warning (You passed a semi on the highway going 56mph instead of 55mph.)

That would be illegal in Europe. Personal data is much more protected than in the USA. I mean legally, not from hackers. Tracking someone's car without their consent would be illegal.
