Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would require new cars to beep at drivers exceeding speed limits, stating existing federal laws already govern vehicle safety.
California's proposal for speed alerts aimed to reduce traffic deaths but faced criticism for potentially increasing car costs and distracting drivers.

With a substantial market share, California's vehicle regulations often set precedents, influencing automotive standards and practices across the nation.
