From My Bottom Step

Last month, in this post, I told you about Australia’s experiment with free, solar-powered public transit. Well, they’re at it again!

“A device that can automatically slow a speeding car using satellite technology” is currently being evaluated, and a widespread trial of the Australasian Intelligent Speed Adaptation (AISA) initiative is expected to take place this year (’Device automatically slows speeding cars‘; New Zealand Herald; 2008/01/09).

It’s estimated that “the number of fatalities could be cut by almost 60 per cent if it was fitted to all cars.”
