    Speed limits to be automatically enforced on new cars from 2021

    11 car safety systems to become mandatory by 2021 | Auto Express

    The 11 systems set to become mandatory in 2021:
    Advanced emergency braking
    Alcohol interlock installation facilitation
    Drowsiness and attention detection
    Event (accident) data recorder
    Emergency stop signal
    Full-width frontal occupant protection crash test - improved seatbelts
    Head impact zone enlargement for pedestrians and cyclists - safety glass in case of crash
    Intelligent speed assistance
    Lane keeping assist
    Pole side impact occupant protection
    Reversing camera or detection system

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intell...eed_adaptation
    Intelligent speed adaptation (ISA), also known as alerting, and intelligent authority,[1] is any system that ensures that vehicle speed does not exceed a safe or legally enforced speed. In case of potential speeding, a human driver can be alerted, or the speed reduced automatically

    Self driving cars here we come.

        …a fresh set of safety proposals, which would force all new cars to feature autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, reversing cameras, and driver fatigue detection by 2021.

        A total of 11 systems will become mandatory for new cars introduced to the market by that date if the proposals are approved
        Ever get the feeling you've been clickbaited?

          The hire car I've got has lane assist. It takes a little getting used to but seems to work quite well.

            My E-Class came with all those features fitted - in 2012. What's the fuss?

              Not only that, it's just an assistant, that you can turn off presumably, no different than what most sat-navs already offer.
