Europe is set to mandate the fitment of intelligent speed assistance (ISA) for all new cars sold from July 2024, beginning with “new models [or] types of vehicles introduced on the market” from July 2022, or this month, the mobility and transport department of the European Commission said in a statement.
The delegated act, “Technical requirements and test procedure for approval of intelligent speed assistance (ISA)” has been adopted as of June 23, and the act will be sent to the European Parliament and Council for scrutiny over a period of two months, the department said.
As indicated above, the ISA will be mandatory for all new cars sold from July 2024, therefore it will not concern the existing vehicle fleet already registered and in circulation before that date, the department noted.
The intelligent speed assistance (ISA) system that is introduced from this month can be overridden by the driver and this is part of a ‘second wave’ of active safety measures that employs technology including onboard sensors, radar, cameras, GPS and lasers, which are being fitted to passenger cars.
According to the department, the regulation provides carmakers with four options to use for providing feedback to the driver, including a cascaded acoustic warning, cascaded vibrating warning, haptic feedback through the throttle pedal and finally, a speed control function.
As described, the prescribed feedback option begin with an audible warning for the driver to adhere to the posted speed limit, and will be followed by a delayed audio and haptic (vibration) warning if the driver has yet to respond.
This is then followed by feedback through the throttle pedal that will gently push back against the driver’s foot, before the system ultimately slows the vehicle down automatically. The department says that drivers will still be able to override such systems by pushing harder on the throttle pedal.
According to the mobility and transport department of the European Commission, the roll-out of ISA is “a huge step forward for road safety,” and has the potential to dramatically reduce road traffic injuries and deaths, stating that car manufacturers now have the opportunity to maximise the benefits of the speed assistance systems towards creating safer roads.

Safer Europe starting from 2022.
Luxury small car like Toyota Aygo X AEB, ACC equipped R18 SUV, will be more welcomed.
Probably Japanese Kei can enter Europe too.
Squad and Citroen Ami no safety Plastic tin Kosong continental- no liscence >14/16yrs old for these Moped Car also will wiped the floors..
The bright side, they are spearheading regulation enforcement to idealistic condition.
Very brave, bold advancement.
CAR WILL NOT START !!! Driver ……. Is DRUNK !!!
no wonder great britain left the EU
Stupidity just level up!
Adding so much of car features to control the speed limit??? This only increases user maintenance costs & it is just to benefit the car manufacturer to earn much more money.
Why not car association just limit the engine power output based on the vehicle size, weight & usage. Limiting the transmission gear ratio also may help to cut down the speed as well, this is to avoid those drivers who like to unlock the speed limit.
