Last year, New York City launched a pilot program to trial active speed limiters on a fleet of 50 municipal vehicles. A state senator from Manhattan also proposed legislation that would mandate similar limiters on every new vehicle registered in the state starting in 2024. The bill hasn’t left committee. Now, two other state lawmakers in New York City want persistent speeders to have their cars electronically limited.
