New cars that are sold in Europe from this week will host automatically-installed speed limiters, following the introduction of a new EU law.

Even though the rule to install the technology does not apply in the UK, many of the cars will have been made in Europe and so will feature the Intelligent Speed Assistance anyway. The technology allows the car to automatically restrict its speed based on GPS location, speed-sign recognition and cameras within the vehicle. It does so by reducing the engine power until the relevant speed limit is met.
