"Repeated reckless New York City drivers could soon be thwarted by technology that will prevent them from far exceeding the speed limit, under new legislation that Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed. The state's top executive, in a policy book accompanying her annual State of the State address on Tuesday, revealed that she plans to introduce a bill during this state legislative session allowing the city to pilot a program requiring the installation of devices in the cars of serial speeders."
"The so-called Intelligent Speed Assistance technology would prevent drivers whose cars it has been installed in from exceeding the speed limit by more than a few miles per hour. The technology is intended to slow down reckless drivers, proactively preventing them from crashing into pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. Based on the pilot's results, the state will move to allow areas around the state to opt into the program."
New legislation would permit a New York City pilot program requiring installation of Intelligent Speed Assistance devices in the vehicles of serial speeders. These devices would prevent drivers from exceeding posted speed limits by more than a few miles per hour, reducing the likelihood of collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. Pilot results would determine whether areas across the state can opt into the program. The proposal aligns with prior Stop Super Speeders legislation that passed the state Senate but stalled in the Assembly. Advocates emphasize that speed-limiting technology can prevent fatal crashes and save lives over time.
