Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill requiring new vehicles to beep when exceeding speed limits, asserting that it would conflict with existing federal vehicle safety standards.
The bill aimed to reduce traffic deaths by mandating beeping alerts for speed limit violations, but faced opposition claiming it should remain under federal jurisdiction.
Automotive groups argued that such regulations could increase vehicle prices and distract drivers, while emphasizing the importance of a consistent federal approach to vehicle safety.
California's vehicle regulations have significant influence, but the governor emphasized avoiding a patchwork system that could disrupt ongoing federal assessments of vehicle safety technology.
