Introduction to Speed Warning

Recently purchased a new car? You’re likely familiar with the speed warning. This warning, also known as Speed from Intelligent speed assistant, recognizes local speed limits and alerts drivers. As of July 2024, European regulations have made this warning mandatory.

Purpose of the Speed Warning

The primary goal of this warning is to make driving safer by reducing the attractiveness of speeding, thereby making traffic safer. However, according to reports, this measure may have an unintended consequence.

Counterproductive Effects

Many drivers are now focusing more on their infotainment screen to check the speed measuring devices rather than keeping their eyes on the road. This shift in attention could potentially lead to more hazardous driving conditions, rather than the intended safety improvements.
