Car speed restrictions hailed as a ‘seat belt’ moment

AutoExec Summary
The European Union is set to implement mandatory safety technologies in all new cars by 2022, aiming to reduce the annual 25,000 road fatalities attributed to human error. Key features include Intelligent Speed Adaptation, which prevents drivers from exceeding speed limits, and in-car data recorders. While some view these changes as necessary for road safety, critics argue they may compromise driver attention and freedom. The technology may also influence the car market, particularly performance vehicles, as it could deter buyers.
