May 26, 2022 – Ford is trialing a new geofencing system that alerts drivers of connected cars when they break the speed limit and automatically slows them down.
The driver receives the information via the dashboard display cluster, with the boundary’s speed limit flashing below the current speed. If necessary, the vehicle then automatically reduces the speed in line with the required limit of the geofenced zone.
In the future, Ford says the system could enable drivers to set their own geofencing zones at speeds as low as 12 mph, at workplaces, such as depots, and private facilities. Speed limits could also be set dynamically, to take into account local hazards, temporary road works and the time of day.
