I would have thought that it should be possible to implement software that using the EMS & ABS could monitor activity through the brake, accelerator and steering; record a typical pattern for each journey; turn that into an average and compare it with the current driving pattern? This might also help to detect people falling asleep at the wheel.

Quite what such a system would do if it detected abnormal behaviour I'm not sure, perhaps sound the horn, flash the hazard warning lights and sound a loud buzzer inside the car


Frankly, it is long past time that speed-limiters were fitted in all new cars; the guy was reported to be doing something like 90 mph
