There is a surprisingly high acceptance of anti-speeding technology in cars with many motorists in a recent study confirming that they would be comfortable with this technology in their cars.
Speeding is the number one cause of auto accidents in the United States, causing more car accidents every year than any other accident factor including drunk driving. Speeding causes approximately 30% of all auto accident wrongful deaths across the country every year. These destructive driving behaviors have become more prevalent since the pandemic, and the rise in speeding is being blamed for an increase in the number of people being killed in car accidents since 2020.
In 2022 alone, speeding killed more than 12,000 drivers. It is one of the most challenging behaviors for traffic safety experts and regulators to restrict with as many as 50% of all motorists admitting that they have exceeded speed limits by as much as 15 miles per hour while driving, at least once over the past month.
