It’s becoming a familiar experience for many drivers to hear their cars beeping if they drift out of their lane or turn on a blinker when another car is too close. Some cars even brake automatically to avoid a collision.
Now, the government agency focused on highway safety wants to do more. The National Transportation Safety Board recommended last month that automakers, at a minimum, be required to install systems that warn drivers who speed. More advanced driver-assistance technology might actively prevent a car from speeding. While cars with these systems have been on the road for years, the NTSB is looking to make them a standard for all vehicles.
