Brits test out Intelligent Speed Adaptation for speed control
Aug 15, 2006 gps navigation, misc news
Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) is a project in the UK designed to make drivers more aware of their speeds. It uses GPS technology to figure the vehicle speed and beeps at the driver when he/she is too fast.
As well as sounding a warning, drivers straying five miles over the speed limit or more will feel their seat vibrating to alert them to their law-breaking, using technology developed at the Motor Industry Research Association using Department for Transport funding.
Some have rejected the project as they say it will be distracting the driver and make them turn into driving zombies since they’ll rely on GPS satellites to control their speeds.
