Late last week, the EU came out with a new law. In roughly four years, if you build and sell a new car in Europe, it must have a sensor and speed limiting device, to note a speed lessening zone ahead.
The sensor would see or sense the 50 kph sign, then drop the speed to that. Companies shocked? They have been mostly quiet. I doubt if anyone in Germany knew this was coming.
Cost? One can speculate this mandated feature to add 1000 Euro per car. If the sensor were broke, or intentionally disconnected? I'll bet a police citation gets issued.
More overreacting by the EU? No doubt.
