Ahahahaha that'll never happen... In my experience of 10 years of trucking they make plenty of money off of fining us truckers for plenty of shit.. State wide speed limit for trucks in California is 55. A vast majority of us are using doing a fair bit over that, like 63-70. Also depends on the scale houses as well. They'll get ya for something at times. If they cut back any enforcement it would be local county/city police but not the CHP.

@@BlackSuburban I would trust the online videos from the actual residents instead of what you hear from the MSM (you know, the people who claimed they fact-checked by making one phone call to a mid-level city employee to verify).
For this to work, the car would need to know what street it is on and the speed limit of that section of road, iow GPS. It would require some kind of service to update the road construction status. This law ignores the fact that there are circumstances where "excessive" speed is necessary. Such as escaping a hostile assailant or raging driver, or natural disaster.

Welcome to the trucking industry. All semi trucks have those devices on them. Where do you think they first introduce and prefect the technology. It's always starts with the trucking industry and is done in the name of safety. Once introduced into the trucking industry, they'll then move it over to the public. It has nothing to do with safety. It's all about control.😮
That's why I'm giving up my cdl. I worked my asx off for it and paid 5k, 25 years ago. And keep it even when I was not driving anymore. One less American driver and some NONE SPEAKING OR READING ENGLISH PERSON given a license to drive like they do in the old country, And F the American SAFETY Roads RULES. is how they will drive, remember our prisons are better than the places they live in as a free person.
They have governers and are set by the companies. But the trucks also have tale tells that report to the companies and warning buzzers that go off warning the driver when over the speed limit. It will first be put on as a warning device. Then it will become mandatory to report it to law enforcement and they'll send you a ticket in the mail and after so many they will enact the limiter on your vehicle like they do on big trucks. That is what's coming. This is just the beginning of it. Look at photo radar. Look at the seat belt law and how it started out. As a warning. Not anymore. @StolenJoker84

I am a semi truck driving instructor in Oakland California. I see drivers doing stupid things every day like going 70 mph+ in a 30 mph zone and running traffic lights. They're driving cars that can go faster than their ability to control it. Many semi trucks have speed limiters and not some buzzer / flashing light. Speed limiters in cars would save more lives than flashing lights. I believe California should require applicants to pass an IQ exam before an license can be issued. Let the screaming begin!
I'm a delivery driver in the Houston, TX, area & concur with this 100%. The stupidity has reached all the way over here & it's past time to rein it in.
This technology is already in newer cars. I have a car where you have intelligent speed limiting that can either limit how fast the car can go, beep all the time, flash the speed limit silently, or disable it. As long as it's optional, it's a fantastic feature to help keep you from falling prey to speed traps and other forms of corruption. It's not a separate system, it's just a software feature so if there is some sort of unusual law in California that simply enforces what's already a feature of the car, it takes 5 minutes to add or remove that feature from the firmware so it's completely plausible for auto manufacturers to have slightly different configurations for California or other carb States. In fact, they already do. There's tuning differences for California cars that result in less horsepower for the same model. That said, I am totally on the same page with the cessation of analytical data collection in automobiles or any other kind of autonomous law enforcement. Its gross overreach. This is a very slippery slope where they could one day access your car's data and issue you tickets in real time if you run a light or speed or even turn the car off. I fully believe that's coming.
Ai Will run the governments and CONTROL human populations for the elites! It's coming! SKYNET is built!... even tho it sounds funny to say it's so fkn true.

Wait, I thought ALL internal cubustion vehicles were going to be banned from being sold in Kalifornia after 2030 ????? They change their mind because of all the ev car fires, and lack of a power grid strong enough to charge all vehicles in Kalifornia ??
I don’t mind actual safety features like ABS, traction control. And stability control. And airbags and seat belts. But this isn’t a safety feature. They want control of your vehicle
As with any tech, I see many potential issues, such as not only warning you but shutting the car off when you need it most. ‘I need to pass that truck right now or we’re gonna crash.’ ‘I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave…’

i'm turning 15 in a little while and i'm not buying no car newer than 1988 needs to be carbureted, manual transmission, 4wd, preferably manual choke, manual axle hubs, and manual windows. also preferably before 1970 because it won't have all that emissions junk on the engine that just chokes it out and makes it unable to breathe as it was designed people don't understand cars are machines that you have to learn how to work on and operate correctly to own and use them, it's not supposed to be easy and you're not supposed to be dependent on a damn computer. if you can't fix it or modify it yourself it's either you that needs to change or the car that needs changed. ECUs should've never been added to cars, it's a slippery slope. at first it was for fuel injection, and then for fuel economy, and then for infotainment, and now for full on control and access to where you are and how you drive. you also can't modify the car because the engine immobilizer and pcm won't recognize the new parts, and you need the computer tuned to have the engine run even though engines are mechanical and could otherwise run completely fine without the computer.
Used cars gonna be real expensive in a not so far future. They gonna be punished by the market and they will walk this back like companies are walking back on Evs
That has the potential to kill people. Example: someone is going 40 mph in a 65 mph 2 lane road. You go to pass, and right when you get to his front bumper, and your speed is limited to 65 mph, your engine unexpectantly turns off or slows down. Now you are facing oncoming traffic at 65 mph and cannot move over or get out of the way. The majority of drivers do not have the skills nor the reflexes to make a decision on what to do. They will freeze and now 2 cars of people hit head on.
@@dakotabearjojo Right? A 25mph delta should be more than enough to pass pretty quickly. While I agree with the sentiment that this proposed bill is beyond stupid, if you’re in a situation where trying to pass might cause a head-on collision while traveling that much faster than the car you’re passing, you probably shouldn’t have started the pass to begin with.
@@dakotabearjojo you are not going 65. You are going 40 behind them. It takes maybe 5 seconds to reach 65 from 40 in most economy cars. Then you car will be limited to 65 mph on the pass. Can you imagine how long it would feel like in the oncoming traffic lane? And when that car accelerates as you go around them? You may need to go 80 but will be limited to 65.

Guess the car market will be worse come 2030 with no one buying newer cars 😂. Used car prices are gonna sky rocket. Lots of people might be driving maybe with a check engine light or something like that once you remove the fuse for said system.
We have a very similar system in our work trucks. It is so annoying. It starts beeping and yelling reduce speed. If you have to heartbreak to avoid hitting somebody says heartbreak incident detected and it generates an email to the safety department every single time.
Good I’m glad they are doing this I’ve been a truck driver for 9 years now and the car drivers all need to slow down I got rear ended by a car a while back and the car driver nearly died Y’all need to slow down and people should not be allowed to go more that 5mph over the posted speed limit
That means there will be all vehicles. Or is that making the emergency vehicles exempt? But remember, some of them get sold to the public like old ambulances, old police cars, old fire department, chief cart vehicles, paramedic vehicles. They get sold out after they're out of service. Are they going to spend all that extra money to reinstall that feature for them?
It would probably be a remote software config by then, so yes they would. Why not? They spend money to remove all the police stuff like their equipment. Just send the VIN to the manufacturer to have the feature re-enabled. Done.
I was in Japan in the 80s and their cars all did it when you exceeded the limit on the highway. Continuously chime over 55 km/hr. Also the toll booths give you a ticket if you made it between checkpoints too fast.
what if that particular driver is speeding due to an emergency like for example a parent taking their child who has a blood clotting disorder to the hospital for surgery or stitches or a husband rushing his high risk pregnant wife to hospital to deliver
beeping is fine and as someone who's had too many close calls probably a life saver but much more than that and we're treading into country dividing civil war territory
In the 1970's, I remember newer cars having an extra 'red' dial on the speedometer, which buzzed if the driver went over a prescribed speed & only stopped when you slowed to below that! It was annoying, but, at least the driver could disconnect it! In the future, your car will alert the police, if you speed & you will get a ticket, electronically!
@@CarCoachReports I've been hoping that at least one car manufacturer would pull all the CA mandates out of their vehicles and sell them as 49 state cars at a much lower price. This would drive the point home to Californians that keep electing these nanny-staters. Unfortunately, the CA market is too big to alienate.
In the ‘60s and ‘70s California did have different emissions standards for vehicles. Cars that went to California had stickers that said California emissions. I don’t know about newer vehicles.
So you want to get to the hospital quickly/overtake a semi truck carrying rocks that are falling on the road and you crash killing yourself and potentially somebody else because a beeper you and flashing instrument panel you CAN'T TURN OFF was annoying you. Awesome safety right there. Just give me the damn buttons and get rid of the dumb screens, I don't want my car to brake for me when I know what I'm doing.
I know I am the "Odd Man Out", but this is in our best interest. I am 61 years old and when I first got my driver's license, it was during a gas crisis and the top speed limit across the nation was 55 mph. We have gotten spoiled with the increased speed limits and there really is no reason why we *need* to drive 80 or 90 mph. Someone in the comments reporta having driven 120 mph to outrun a hurricane. Tropical storms are not racing across the country at 100 mph, so that is just a lame excuse.
You're not alone. I share those exact same sympathies. For the record, I'm a delivery driver around Houston, TX & even 40-50 miles outside the city, I see the stupidest stuff happen. Everything from speeders going 120+ MPH on the freeway to wrong-way drivers. Governments don't do a whole lot of things right, sure, but reining in speeders is a definite positive in my book.
Then we should legally require truck drivers going 20+ UNDER the limit to pull over or get a felony charge. At that speed, not only are they not even doing their job, but they’re making it harder for everyone BEHIND them to even get to work. We need MINIMUM speed signs.
Money money money 🤑. If they really wanted people not to speed, they wouldn't make them so fast and so powerful. You know how much money the state would lose if vehicles were made to stay within speed limits.
Coming soon: [beep!] "You are driving too fast. Please upload your credit card to pay your automatic fine of $100.00. Your vehicle will shut down if the fine is not paid immediately."
Here in the EU this has been applied to all cars sold since July. When you cross the speed limit, the car must notify the driver by beeping or vibrating the wheel. If the driver exceeds the limit at a higher speed, the system will lower speed by reducing engine revs or something similar for EVs. Now in EU, the driver WILL be able to disable this feature from the car menu. But when it will start over the engine, it will reset to default enabled. To be honest, the car makers had this one coming. They were constantly making cars with more performance that would send you to the court once you press the pedal.
@@fortheloveofnoise Strictly speaking speed limits exist for a series of reasons that include road quality and specifications, weather configurations, average car performance, ability to break safely, the risk to human life during a crash and driver training. In order to drive at 200mph, we wouldn’t just need different cars, but also different roads, tyres and special training.
@@fortheloveofnoise While you certainly could eliminate speed limits, there are a lot of stupid folks that don't understand that while you CAN go fast, you shouldn't, as in bad road conditions and other reasons. I personally don't want some idiot crashing into me because he was speeding and lost control of his car. That said, IMO speed limits for arbitrarily lowering the speed on a road for ticket revenue should not be allowed.
Quite frankly I don't see it as a problem If you don't want to get in trouble stop speeding. You can get to where you're going and decent amount of time without speeding.
But the issue at hand is not you choosing to speed or not, it's the fact that the car's computers are going to distract you if they THINK you are speeding (tech has bugs, always will). Eventually that will become a hard limiter or the car reporting you to the police and/or insurance company automatically... again the issue is not you CHOICE to speed or not, but rather having the car CHOOSE for you. While I have little sympathy for speeders, I still can say this is a REALLY bad idea to add to cars and wont even fix the unsafe driving issue in the slightest. The tech can't react to changing conditions, it can't tell if there is a legit reason to go a certain speed, and it can and will misread speed signs or run on outdated data... that and on single lane highways, for safety, I would rather someone behind me pass me as fast as possible, for the safety of everyone, even if the road is clear for a VERY long ways, I would still rather them fly past me and spend as little time in the oncoming lane as possible... a hard limiter (which is the next idea they'll have) would prevent this.

For this to work, the car would need to know what street it is on and the speed limit of that section of road, iow GPS. It would require some kind of service to update the road construction status. This law ignores the fact that there are circumstances where "excessive" speed is necessary. Such as escaping a hostile assailant or raging driver, or natural disaster.

Welcome to the trucking industry. All semi trucks have those devices on them. Where do you think they first introduce and prefect the technology. It's always starts with the trucking industry and is done in the name of safety. Once introduced into the trucking industry, they'll then move it over to the public. It has nothing to do with safety. It's all about control.😮
I thought most trucks just had a hard limiter that was irrespective of (and often times set lower than) the actual speed limit.
That's why I'm giving up my cdl. I worked my asx off for it and paid 5k, 25 years ago. And keep it even when I was not driving anymore. One less American driver and some NONE SPEAKING OR READING ENGLISH PERSON given a license to drive like they do in the old country, And F the American SAFETY Roads RULES. is how they will drive, remember our prisons are better than the places they live in as a free person.
They have governers and are set by the companies. But the trucks also have tale tells that report to the companies and warning buzzers that go off warning the driver when over the speed limit. It will first be put on as a warning device. Then it will become mandatory to report it to law enforcement and they'll send you a ticket in the mail and after so many they will enact the limiter on your vehicle like they do on big trucks. That is what's coming. This is just the beginning of it. Look at photo radar. Look at the seat belt law and how it started out. As a warning. Not anymore. @StolenJoker84
Fun fact this use to be a thing in Japan. It was a chime after going over 100km I believe. Don’t think it’s a thing anymore. But being here in California I know it’ll be way worse
Leave it to the government to keep passing useless laws that will only create problems. Already cars are becoming way too complex and complicated. Cars need to simplified.
If vehicles are becoming to complicated for you to operate then you properly should not be driving one.

They use the guise of MONEY, FINES AND OWNERSHIP to confuse you! They want you busy thinking of what's RIGHT OR WRONG instead of KNOWING how to STOP THEM!
Limiting speed on any vehicle is dangerous sometimes you have to go faster to avoid an accident

I am a semi truck driving instructor in Oakland California. I see drivers doing stupid things every day like going 70 mph+ in a 30 mph zone and running traffic lights. They're driving cars that can go faster than their ability to control it. Many semi trucks have speed limiters and not some buzzer / flashing light. Speed limiters in cars would save more lives than flashing lights. I believe California should require applicants to pass an IQ exam before an license can be issued. Let the screaming begin!
I'm a delivery driver in the Houston, TX, area & concur with this 100%. The stupidity has reached all the way over here & it's past time to rein it in.
Well, maybe the people in California need it but we don’t need it here where I live
This technology is already in newer cars. I have a car where you have intelligent speed limiting that can either limit how fast the car can go, beep all the time, flash the speed limit silently, or disable it. As long as it's optional, it's a fantastic feature to help keep you from falling prey to speed traps and other forms of corruption.
It's not a separate system, it's just a software feature so if there is some sort of unusual law in California that simply enforces what's already a feature of the car, it takes 5 minutes to add or remove that feature from the firmware so it's completely plausible for auto manufacturers to have slightly different configurations for California or other carb States. In fact, they already do. There's tuning differences for California cars that result in less horsepower for the same model.
That said, I am totally on the same page with the cessation of analytical data collection in automobiles or any other kind of autonomous law enforcement. Its gross overreach. This is a very slippery slope where they could one day access your car's data and issue you tickets in real time if you run a light or speed or even turn the car off. I fully believe that's coming.

ECUs should've never been added to cars, it's a slippery slope. at first it was for fuel injection, and then for fuel economy, and then for infotainment, and now for full on control and access to where you are and how you drive.
you also can't modify the car because the engine immobilizer and pcm won't recognize the new parts, and you need the computer tuned to have the engine run even though engines are mechanical and could otherwise run completely fine without the computer.

My 58 Buick had that. But I could set it so high it would never sound.
That has the potential to kill people. Example: someone is going 40 mph in a 65 mph 2 lane road. You go to pass, and right when you get to his front bumper, and your speed is limited to 65 mph, your engine unexpectantly turns off or slows down. Now you are facing oncoming traffic at 65 mph and cannot move over or get out of the way. The majority of drivers do not have the skills nor the reflexes to make a decision on what to do. They will freeze and now 2 cars of people hit head on.
If the person is doing 40 and you're doing 65, why do you need to drive faster?
@@dakotabearjojo speed limit is 65 mph. 40 is unsafe in a 65 zone.

@@dakotabearjojo Right? A 25mph delta should be more than enough to pass pretty quickly.
While I agree with the sentiment that this proposed bill is beyond stupid, if you’re in a situation where trying to pass might cause a head-on collision while traveling that much faster than the car you’re passing, you probably shouldn’t have started the pass to begin with.
@@dakotabearjojo you are not going 65. You are going 40 behind them. It takes maybe 5 seconds to reach 65 from 40 in most economy cars. Then you car will be limited to 65 mph on the pass. Can you imagine how long it would feel like in the oncoming traffic lane? And when that car accelerates as you go around them? You may need to go 80 but will be limited to 65.

The problem with that is speed limits always change, 90% of the time the read out on my dash of the speed limit is wrong.
We have a very similar system in our work trucks. It is so annoying. It starts beeping and yelling reduce speed. If you have to heartbreak to avoid hitting somebody says heartbreak incident detected and it generates an email to the safety department every single time.
Good
I’m glad they are doing this
I’ve been a truck driver for 9 years now and the car drivers all need to slow down
I got rear ended by a car a while back and the car driver nearly died
Y’all need to slow down and people should not be allowed to go more that 5mph over the posted speed limit
That means there will be all vehicles. Or is that making the emergency vehicles exempt? But remember, some of them get sold to the public like old ambulances, old police cars, old fire department, chief cart vehicles, paramedic vehicles. They get sold out after they're out of service. Are they going to spend all that extra money to reinstall that feature for them?
It would probably be a remote software config by then, so yes they would. Why not? They spend money to remove all the police stuff like their equipment. Just send the VIN to the manufacturer to have the feature re-enabled. Done.
Well, that's good, because that will totally crush all the new car sales so welcome to california.
If it’s Cali how bout make it not start if it detects weed smokin 😂
Yeah. That would cause about an 85% reduction in vehicles on the Highways.
I was in Japan in the 80s and their cars all did it when you exceeded the limit on the highway. Continuously chime over 55 km/hr. Also the toll booths give you a ticket if you made it between checkpoints too fast.
what if that particular driver is speeding due to an emergency like for example a parent taking their child who has a blood clotting disorder to the hospital for surgery or stitches or a husband rushing his high risk pregnant wife to hospital to deliver
I know why shouldn't be speeding but that's going too far. What if somebody drove those cars in a racetrack or doing a legal drag race?
beeping is fine and as someone who's had too many close calls probably a life saver but much more than that and we're treading into country dividing civil war territory
In the 1970's, I remember newer cars having an extra 'red' dial on the speedometer,
which buzzed if the driver went over a prescribed speed & only stopped when you
slowed to below that! It was annoying, but, at least the driver could disconnect it! In
the future, your car will alert the police, if you speed & you will get a ticket, electronically!

I know I am the "Odd Man Out", but this is in our best interest. I am 61 years old and when I first got my driver's license, it was during a gas crisis and the top speed limit across the nation was 55 mph. We have gotten spoiled with the increased speed limits and there really is no reason why we *need* to drive 80 or 90 mph.
Someone in the comments reporta having driven 120 mph to outrun a hurricane. Tropical storms are not racing across the country at 100 mph, so that is just a lame excuse.
You're not alone. I share those exact same sympathies.
For the record, I'm a delivery driver around Houston, TX & even 40-50 miles outside the city, I see the stupidest stuff happen. Everything from speeders going 120+ MPH on the freeway to wrong-way drivers.
Governments don't do a whole lot of things right, sure, but reining in speeders is a definite positive in my book.
Then we should legally require truck drivers going 20+ UNDER the limit to pull over or get a felony charge.
At that speed, not only are they not even doing their job, but they’re making it harder for everyone BEHIND them to even get to work.

They've been doing this since the 70s here in Sweden. Once you exceed 120 km/h, an audible chime along with a symbol flashes on the dash
When I move to Sweden, I will fight to have the speed limit on highways removed, so Swedish highways can be like the Autobahn.
They have this in the GCC area as well, but I think the alert is 100 or 110 km/h, and it's only a flashing light on the dash.
@@fortheloveofnoise You will lose that fight.
Here in the EU this has been applied to all cars sold since July. When you cross the speed limit, the car must notify the driver by beeping or vibrating the wheel. If the driver exceeds the limit at a higher speed, the system will lower speed by reducing engine revs or something similar for EVs.
Now in EU, the driver WILL be able to disable this feature from the car menu. But when it will start over the engine, it will reset to default enabled.
To be honest, the car makers had this one coming. They were constantly making cars with more performance that would send you to the court once you press the pedal.
speed limits should be illegal
@@fortheloveofnoise Strictly speaking speed limits exist for a series of reasons that include road quality and specifications, weather configurations, average car performance, ability to break safely, the risk to human life during a crash and driver training.
In order to drive at 200mph, we wouldn’t just need different cars, but also different roads, tyres and special training.
@@fortheloveofnoise While you certainly could eliminate speed limits, there are a lot of stupid folks that don't understand that while you CAN go fast, you shouldn't, as in bad road conditions and other reasons.

Quite frankly I don't see it as a problem If you don't want to get in trouble stop speeding. You can get to where you're going and decent amount of time without speeding.
100% THIS.
But the issue at hand is not you choosing to speed or not, it's the fact that the car's computers are going to distract you if they THINK you are speeding (tech has bugs, always will). Eventually that will become a hard limiter or the car reporting you to the police and/or insurance company automatically... again the issue is not you CHOICE to speed or not, but rather having the car CHOOSE for you. While I have little sympathy for speeders, I still can say this is a REALLY bad idea to add to cars and wont even fix the unsafe driving issue in the slightest. The tech can't react to changing conditions, it can't tell if there is a legit reason to go a certain speed, and it can and will misread speed signs or run on outdated data... that and on single lane highways, for safety, I would rather someone behind me pass me as fast as possible, for the safety of everyone, even if the road is clear for a VERY long ways, I would still rather them fly past me and spend as little time in the oncoming lane as possible... a hard limiter (which is the next idea they'll have) would prevent this.
Good! We need this across the USA
