The clock rate of the first generation of computers was measured in hertz or kilohertz (kHz), the first personal computers (PCs) to arrive throughout the 1970s and 1980s had clock rates measured in megahertz (MHz), and in the 21st century the speed of modern CPUs is commonly advertised in gigahertz (GHz).
A proposed California bill aims to keep certain new vehicles from exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 mph. The bill calls for tech to electronically limit a vehicle's speed starting with the ...
The Locomotive Acts in the UK set speed limits for vehicles, and later codified enforcement methods. The first Locomotive Act, passed in 1861, set a speed limit of 10 miles per hour (16 km/h) in uninhabited areas, and 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h) within towns. This act also included the value of fines for violations of the law.
The technology, known as intelligent speed assistance, uses GPS technology to compare a vehicle's speed with a dataset of posted speed limits. Once the car is at least 10 mph (16 kph) over the speed limit, the system would emit “a brief, one-time visual and audio signal to alert the driver.”
The pilot programs could start as soon as next year.
Speed Assist Front-facing cameras detect speed limit signs and compare them against map data to display those limits on the dashboard center display even if no signs are detected. [76] 2018 [77] Obstacle Aware Acceleration Reduces acceleration when an obstacle is detected in the path of travel while driving at low speeds. 2019 [78] Blind spot ...
California would have become the first to require such systems for all new cars, trucks and buses sold in the state starting in 2030. The bill, aimed at reducing traffic deaths, would have mandated that vehicles beep at drivers when they exceed the speed limit by at least 10 mph (16kph).
