According to a recent press release, President Joe Biden’s National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is pushing for regulations that would require automatic speed reduction technology in all new cars.
The technology, known as “intelligent speed assistance” (ISA), tracks vehicle locations and matches them with the corresponding speed limits, seconds in the press release. At a minimum, the NTSB advocates for ISA systems that issue warnings to speeding drivers, but the technology may also make it increasingly difficult or impossible to exceed the speed limit.
“Active systems include mechanisms that make it difficult, but not impossible, to increase a vehicle’s speed above the posted speed limit and those that electronically limit the vehicle’s speed to completely prevent drivers from exceeding the speed limit,” the press states of release.
NTSB cannot make regulations, but recommends them for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), seconds at TechCrunch. The NTSB made eight recommendations, including for NHTSA to “require ISA systems that, at a minimum, warn the driver that a vehicle is speeding” and for 17 automakers to implement the similar technology feature in every car new
“Eliminating excessive speeding by implementing a comprehensive strategy is a priority for the NTSB,” according to the news release. There were more than 12,000 fatal speeding-related car collisions in 2021, accounting for around a third of traffic deaths, it says.
“NHTSA always welcomes input from the NTSB and carefully reviews it, especially when considering possible regulatory actions,” an NHTSA spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The head of General Motors’ self-driving division, Cruise Kyle Voght, left the company on Sunday. seconds on CNN. On Saturday, he apologized to Cruise staff for the accidents that prompted the NHTSA to launch an investigation into the company.
A pedestrian was critically injured after a human-driven car collided with a self-driving cruise vehicle that then trapped and dragged the person for about 20 feet in San Francisco in October, according to CNN. This was one of the accidents that led to the NHTSA investigation.
The NHTSA requested public comments on the issue of adding ISA to new car assessments and how robust the technology should be, the spokesperson told the DCNF. The agency is still evaluating the comments and working on its final decision.
The NTSB pointed the DCNF aa report claiming that the ISA could have reduced the damage of a Las Vegas crash that killed nine in 2022.
