Speed assistance technology mandate approved in California; pending review and enactment by Gov. Newsome 

The new California bill (SB961) defines the technology as &quotan integrated vehicle system that determines the speed limit of the roadway the vehicle is traveling on and utilizes a brief, one-time visual and audio signal to alert the driver each time the driver exceeds the speed limit by more than 10 mph.&quot 

The bill requires vehicles manufactured or sold in the state to be equipped with &quotpassive intelligent speed assistance.&quot All new vehicles would be required to be equipped with the passive system by 2030. 

One notable revision to the bill was the removal of a requirement that included trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating exceeding 8,500 lbs. &quotfor which a federal motor vehicle safety standard of any kind or character exists requiring either the passive or active control of speed.&quot- This provision was added IF the FMCSA proceeds forward with their own speed limiter requirement for CMVs.
