This legislation\u2064 aimed to be the first of its kind in the\u2063 United \u2063States, intended\u200d to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-to-install-speed-cameras-in-6-major-cities\/\" title=\"Speed cameras will be installed in 6 major cities in California.\">reduce traffic fatalities<\/a> by\u2063 requiring all new cars, trucks, and buses sold in\u200c California\u2062 from 2030 onwards to \u2064include such alerts.<\/p>\n<p>In his veto, Newsom expressed concerns that the new state-specific requirements would conflict \u2063with existing federal vehicle safety regulations, \u200cpotentially complicating compliance for automakers. He emphasized that\u200c the National Highway Traffic Safety \u2063Administration is already reviewing intelligent speed\u2062 assistance\u2063 systems, suggesting that state-level mandates could interfere with\u200d these federal assessments. Opposition to the bill included voices \u2062from automotive groups and \u200bthe Chamber of Commerce, \u2062who argued that \u2063such \u2063regulations should be \u200bmanaged at the federal\u200b level. Critics of \u2063the veto, including the bill&#8217;s sponsor,\u200b Democratic state Senator\u2062 Scott Wiener, lamented the decision as a\u200d setback \u200cfor road\u200b safety, drawing \u2062parallels to historical instances where\u2062 California led the way in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/spacex-rocket-exploded-after-reaching-space\/\" title=\"SpaceX Rocket Exploded After Reaching Space\">implementing safety measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200dproposed technology, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/always-watching-new-car-models-sold-in-the-eu-will-soon-record-driving-data\/\" title=\"Always Watching: New Car Models Sold in the EU Will Soon Record Driving Data\">intelligent speed assistance<\/a>, operates using GPS to \u2063monitor vehicle\u200c speeds \u200cagainst a database of posted speed\u2062 limits, \u200calerting drivers when they are in violation. Similar legislation exists in the European Union, which is set to require this\u2063 technology in all new\u2064 cars, likely influencing the automotive industry&#8217;s standards\u2063 on a broader \u200bscale.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">California governor vetoes bill requiring speeding alerts in new cars<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1771764\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>SACRAMENTO, California (AP) &mdash;<\/strong> Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Gavin-Newsom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Gavin Newsom<\/a> vetoed a bill Saturday that would have required new cars to beep at drivers if they exceed the speed limit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/California\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>California<\/a> would have become the first to require such systems for all new cars, trucks and buses sold in the state starting in 2030.

California&rsquo;s proposal would have provided exceptions for emergency vehicles, motorcycles and motorized scooters.<\/p>\n<p>In explaining his veto, Newsom said federal law already dictates vehicle safety standards and adding California-specific requirements would create a patchwork of regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety &ldquo;is also actively evaluating intelligent speed assistance systems, and imposing state-level mandates at this time risks disrupting these ongoing federal assessments,&rdquo; the Democratic governor said.<\/p>\n<p>Opponents, including automotive groups and the state Chamber of Commerce, said such regulations should be decided by the federal government, which earlier this year established new requirements for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/automatic-emergency-braking-requirement-stop-standards-366abf6958eaf4e48e7ca4737075071b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>automatic emergency braking<\/a>&nbsp;to curb traffic deaths. Republican lawmakers also said the proposal could make cars more expensive and distract drivers.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation would have likely impacted all new car sales in the U.S., since the California market is so large that car manufacturers would likely just make all of their vehicles comply.<\/p>\n<p>California often throws that weight around to influence national and even international policy. The state has set its own&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/california-climate-vehicle-emissions-rules-b649b3fe05a97876a51b55a52af7ea1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>emission standards for cars<\/a>&nbsp;for decades, rules that more than a dozen other states have also adopted. And when California announced it would eventually&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/technology-gavin-newsom-california-4956d87b72b000a917eed27392d16d8b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>ban the sale of new gas-powered cars<\/a>, major automakers soon followed with their own announcement to phase out fossil-fuel vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener, who sponsored the bill, called the veto a setback for street safety.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;California should have led on this crisis as Wisconsin did in passing the first seatbelt mandate in 1961,&rdquo; Wiener said in a statement. &ldquo;Instead, this veto resigns Californians to a completely unnecessary risk of fatality.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The speeding alert technology, known as intelligent speed assistance, uses GPS to compare a vehicle&rsquo;s pace with a dataset of posted limits. If the car is at least 10 mph (16 kph) over, the system emits a single, brief, visual and audio alert.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal would have required the state to maintain a list of posted speed limits, and it&rsquo;s likely that those would not include local roads or recent changes in speed limits, resulting in conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>The technology has been used in the U.S. and Europe for years. Starting in July, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/general-news-international-news-64605eca1fdb4769aff654ae1cac313c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>European Union<\/a>&nbsp;will require all new cars to have the technology, although drivers would be able to turn it off. At least 18 manufacturers including Ford, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan, have already offered some form of speed limiters on some models sold in America, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 10% of all car crashes reported to police in 2021 were related to speeding.
