Jest wcale prawdopodobne że od 2022 roku UE wprowadzi przymus posiadania systemu ograniczania prędkości we wszystkich autach sprzedawanych na jej obszarze.
W wielkim uproszczeniu system ów polegałby na "narzucaniu" określonej prędkości - dozwolonej na danym obszarze. Prędkość ową - jednakże - można będzie przełamać i zwiększyć tempo jazdy - na przykład podczas manewru wyprzedzania. Najistotniejszym jednak novum będzie cyfrowy zapis prędkości (czarna skrzynka) która umożliwi odczyt wstecz prędkości z jaką poruszało się auto. Odczyty owe będą miały kluczowe znaczenie przy wymierzaniu ewentualnych kar i określaniu stawek ubezpieczenia.
Należy nadmienić, iż co roku z powodu przekraczania dopuszczalnej prędkości - giną tysiące ludzi.


"The idea that cars will be fitted with speed limiters - or to put it more accurately, "intelligent speed assistance" - is likely to upset a lot of drivers. Many of us are happy to break limits when it suits us and don't like the idea of Big Brother stepping in.
However, the new system as it's currently envisaged will not force drivers to slow down. It is there to encourage them to do so, and to make them aware of what the limit is, but it can be overridden. Much like the cruise control in many current cars will hold a particular speed, or prevent you exceeding it, until you stamp on the accelerator.
So it'll still be a free-for-all for speeding motorists then? Not quite. Under the new rules, cars will also be fitted with compulsory data recorders, or "black boxes".
So if you have an accident, the police and your insurance company will know whether you've been going too fast. If you've been keeping your foot down and routinely ignoring the car's warnings, they may take a very dim view of your actions.
In fact, it's this "spy on board" which may ultimately have a bigger impact on driver behaviour than any kind of speed limiter. It's easy to get away with reckless driving when there's only a handful of traffic cops around to stop you. Much harder when there's a spy in the cab recording your every move.
All of this may well reduce accidents, but it won't eliminate them. You can force people to slow down, you can watch what they're doing, you can help them with emergency braking - but you can't get rid of basic bad driving.
Unless, of course, you have self-driving cars."
