AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/27 Report--

On the 26th, the European Commission adopted a new regulation requiring all new cars sold in Europe after May 2022 to adopt speed limit technology, including speed limits, automatic emergency brakes, electronic recorders and systems to monitor driver attention levels. Britain, which is struggling to leave the European Union, will also follow the example of the European Union to implement speed limit technology.

The full name of the speed limiter required by the European Union is the intelligent speed assist system, which uses GPS data and traffic identification cameras to monitor the speed of cars, the report said. When the car is speeding, the system will sound an alarm and slow down automatically. The new rule will be reviewed by the European Parliament in September to decide whether to take effect. The European Traffic Safety Committee says the rule will save at least 25000 lives in the first 15 years of implementation, and the EU says it hopes to reduce the number of road traffic deaths to zero by 2050.

Similarly, Volvo announced earlier this month that it would set a speed of 180 km / h for all its new cars from next year to prevent dangerous accidents caused by speeding. Volvo, which has always taken "safety" as its propaganda goal, has earlier put forward the "Vision 2020", that is, in order that no one will have major casualties due to driving new Volvo cars by 2020, Volvo will study the driver's driving behavior, attention, and a series of active and passive safety devices to achieve deep self-driving, so as to help the implementation of Vision 2020.

In order to realize the previously proposed Vision 2020 as soon as possible, Volvo plans to install cameras and sensors on its cars from the beginning of 2020 to monitor drivers for signs of drunkenness or distraction and to take intervention measures to prevent accidents.
