Volvo is putting a speed limit on its cars as part of its effort to eliminate fatal accidents. The automaker says the limit will stop cars from going faster than 112 mph.
The automaker says the limit will stop cars from going faster than 180 kilometers per hour, which works out to 112 mph. It said it is also considering other technology that could put stricter speed limits on cars driving near schools and hospitals.Most cars can drive faster than 150 mph, and some automakers offer performance cars capable of driving even faster than that. Volvo has set a goal of zero fatalities or serious injuries in new Volvos by 2020.
Volvo said it is also looking at ways to address the problems of driving while distracted or intoxicated. It said it will present plans for technology to address those problems later this month."We want to start a conversation about whether car makers have the right or maybe even an obligation to install technology in cars that changes their driver's behavior, to tackle things like speeding, intoxication or distraction," said Samuelsson.
