You must not drive faster than the speed limit for the type of road and your type of vehicle. These vehicles have the same speed limits as cars.
Local councils can set their own speed limits in certain areas, and these must be clearly signed. It also provides alerts based on specific locations, so parents can see when their child arrives home or at school. While this technology can enable you to track your teenager's every move, could it also strain relations within the family?
John McFarland, GM director of global marketing and innovation, says parents need to deal honestly with their children about such systems and controls.
Beyond where and how fast they drive, teenagers have been the focus of concern about distracted driving caused by cellphone calls or texting. Beginning with 30 of its models, GM will have voice-activated controls and buttons on the steering wheel to have text messages read aloud and then answered by voice. Or, you can set an automatic response to a text that says: " I am driving and will respond when I arrive. Whatever their approach to the problem, parents now have new technology at hand to help them keep their beginning drivers a little safer on the road.
The former car columnist for Money magazine and Washington correspondent for Business Week, Edgerton specializes in finding the best deals on wheels and offering advice on making your car last.
A wave of new gadgets, apps and features offer parents some control when their kids are behind the wheel. It is also true between vehicles — what is a sensible deceleration profile on moving from, say, a 60mph to a 30mph limit? Should that profile be different if the car is being followed very closely by a heavy goods vehicle? If so, how will the car sense this?
These problems are being addressed by developers of AVs, for example by having sensors to detect the proximity of vehicles behind, as well as in front, of the car. Then there is the issue of ethics, or moral responsibility. This might be seen as a responsibility gap. Fifth, the Law Commission, the organisation that reviews laws in England and Wales, is running a study into the law related to AVs. The study questions whether or not AVs should be allowed to break the speed limit.
My view is that all the manoeuvres the car plans to undertake should be defined to stay within limits, but an AV should be allowed to exceed the limit, where this minimises the risk, such as completing an overtaking manoeuvre where road conditions have changed unpredictably since starting to overtake.
