High-speed crashes involving class 7 and 8 trucks can be catastrophic, but they can also be avoided given that trucks of this size have been equipped with speed limiter technology for decades (built in since the 1990s).
ISA was born in France when Saad and Malaterre (1982) carried out their study of driver behaviour with an in-car speed limiter. Actually, they did not really test Intelligent Speed Adaptation, because the system did not automatically set the correct speed limit; instead drivers had to set the limiter themselves, and, rather like a cruise control, they could set it as they chose.
A new car knows the speed limit. With a bit of programming it could be made to never exceed it. Starting this year, new cars in Europe will give drivers an audible alert if they exceed the speed ...

Facing the invention of the automobile, many nations enacted speed limit laws, and appropriate measures to enforce them. [4] The Locomotive Acts in the UK set speed limits for vehicles, and later codified enforcement methods. The first Locomotive Act, passed ...
