The NSW Center for Road Safety will install 100 cars with GPS devices that will not only notify the driver of the speed limit but also warn them when they are going to fast. The technology will be trialled in Illawarra, (New South Wales), Victoria and Western Australia next month and run for one and a half years.The system warns the driver of the speed limit aswell as the speed they are travelling, If the driver doesn't react and slow down, other technology will kick in to limit the supply of fuel to the engine, Which will reduce the speed to the limit.
This technology is said to cost over one million Australian dollars for the 18 month trial, And if the trials are successful it will make the system available to the public at an estimated cost of installing the devices at between A$700 and A$800 per car. aswell as adopting this technology to all cars during manufacture in future.
Up until now its only been an annoying beep that tells you your going to fast, And that was easy to disconnect. I wonder if this piece of annoying technology will stop when you turn the GPS off.
