Speed Limiters: Freedom vs. Safety

In the U.S., the debate on mandatory speed limiters for new cars intensifies. Proponents argue they could prevent the 12,000 annual speeding-related fatalities. These intelligent systems cap speed, using GPS or digital maps, mirroring Europe’s successful model. Critics claim they infringe on driver freedom and privacy. While some states experiment and automakers independently adopt these technologies, concerns about cost, data privacy, and readiness persist. The real question: Will U.S. drivers accept these controls, or will the love for autonomy win out?
