Can ‘Intelligent Speed Assist’ Save Lives on the Road?

Speeding fines are never fun, but the real cost of speeding goes beyond just the fine. With over 1,200 lives lost on Australian roads in the past year, it’s clear that the consequences are far more serious. The question is, can technology like ‘intelligent speed assist’ step in to address the issue of speeding? Some experts believe it can, and there’s a growing interest in making this technology more widely available in cars. Matthew ‘Tepi’ McLaughlin, an Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, shares his insights on how intelligent speed assist could make a difference in road safety.
