Speed limiter will be installed

From 2022, a speed limiter will be installed on all new cars in the EU

From 2022, all new cars that are not sold in the European Union will be subject to speed limits. Presumably, the law will come into force three years after its final approval by the European Parliament.

Among other mandatory "chips" presented to new cars, there will be an emergency braking system operating in automatic mode, as well as a kind of "black box".

The emergency braking system will be responsible for reducing the risk of collision with cyclists and pedestrians. The “black box”, in turn, will help the authorities to more accurately identify the perpetrators of the incidents.

New measures are projected to avoid 25,000 deaths in the next 15 years. The law will be submitted for approval to the European Parliament in September of this year.

How will the speed limiter work?

As for the speed limiter, there is still no clear understanding regarding the principle of its operation. Two possible options are being considered: the first is the speed limit using GPS systems. The second is the use of a built-in camera that reads characters online.

Despite the limiter, the driver will be able to bypass the system by pressing, for example, sharply on the gas. Lawmakers do not want to deprive motorists of the possibility of a sharp acceleration, since in some cases it can save lives.
