What do you think of Volvo's speed limiting move?IOLMotoring
Gothenburg, Sweden - Volvo is working towards a long-term goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries occurring in any of its cars. Although automated driver assist technologies will no doubt play the biggest role in helping to realise this ambitious goal, the Swedish carmaker is taking a wide range of steps, and that includes limiting the top speed of all its products.
In addition, all Volvos will also come with a feature called ‘Care Key’, which allows owners to set even lower speed limitations. Similar in concept to Ford's My Key, this is a feature that parents, for instance, could use to set the car up before letting their newly-licenced child get behind the wheel. We suspect it could become the fleet manager's friend too.
“Our speed limiting technology, and the dialogue that it initiated, fits that thinking. The speed cap and Care Key help people reflect and realise that speeding is dangerous, while also providing extra peace of mind and supporting better driver behaviour.”
