California Governor vetoes speed-alert bill for new cars, citing federal safety standards.

California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill mandating that new cars emit alerts when exceeding the speed limit by over 10 mph, aimed at reducing traffic fatalities. The law was set to apply to all new vehicles by 2030, with exceptions for certain vehicles. Newsom argued that federal safety standards already exist, and state-specific requirements could complicate regulations. Similar legislation has been enacted in the European Union, effective July.
