minus-squareASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·7 months agothe headline is very misleading. There is no beeping at other drivers, or honking of horns. Just a notification to you, the driver of your own car if your car a) knows the local speed and b) is exceeding it by a set amount. This notification can be disabled. like, if you’re in a 30 zone, and go 35, your satnav/gps will go “ding!” and a small light will go on the dash/lcd screen.
