Summary
Automatic speed-limiting technology becomes a tool for highway safety programs by authorizing "Stop Super Speeders" efforts that require active intelligent speed assistance (AIS) to prevent cars from exceeding speed limits. The programs would focus on people with repeated or severe speeding records and allow penalties for drivers who do not comply with AIS requirements.

- The law text is changed in Title 23 to add the new AIS authority and renumber existing provisions, embedding speed-limiting technology into highway safety program options.
