“Why are you taking that exit?” “You need to get into the right turn lane.” “Slow down!!!”
Have you ever been driving alone and wanted to have a “backseat driver” experience?

Well, California is (of course) your car They will nag for you, and unlike an annoyed passenger, you can't tell them to shut up.
If this bill passes, it will affect all of us. Automakers are not going to make models just for California.
Senate Bill 961 The law requires that whenever a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by 10 miles per hour or more, the vehicle “uses a single, brief visual and audio signal to warn the driver.”
The so-called “intelligent speed limiter” will be mandatory for all cars from model year 2030 onwards. And there's no way to disable it.
The bill has passed both the state Assembly and the state Senate and now only needs to be signed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, and this kind of authoritarian left-wing, overprotective legislation is right in Newsom's league, since violations are not only punishable by fine but also criminalized.
Of course, lawmakers say this has nothing to do with privacy and is simply a “safety feature.”
right.
Existing law already prohibits driving a vehicle on a highway at a speed that exceeds the speed limit or that is more than is reasonable or prudent having regard to the driving conditions and the potential for endangerment of property or persons, but that's not the issue.
State Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat who sponsored the bill, said he was surprised by the strong public reaction, perhaps because he's used to seeing strong reactions from his own efforts. Helping 'transgender' kids run away from home.
The bill is based on a law that went into effect in the European Union in July. California is the first state to follow suit, but it won't be the last, joining 17 other states that automatically follow California's car standards, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Republican members of the California Senate sent a letter to Governor Newsom urging him to veto the bill, arguing that it would impose an “undue burden” and that the state should instead increase police presence and punish drivers who violate traffic laws.
“The state's road safety crisis will not be solved by government control,” said Republican state Sen. Roger Niello.
With the September 30 deadline for debating the bill fast approaching, there is little chance that Newson will veto it.
