    tl/dr: every new car sold in the EU will have a button that drivers will push every time they start the engine.
    If they don’t push the button, the car will beep at them when they go over the speed limit.

        A/V systems are $2000 computers now. There is no separate speaker unless you’re going to clip your car stereo speakers

          Yeah canbus systems are an absolute fucking nightmare too. The same wire controling several systems.

            I guess you missed the part in the article where it said it’s been optional but that will change

          Someone who worked on design for a previous iteration of this said that their company deliberately routed the ‘beep over a certain speed’ signal via a wire between two modules for precisely this rrason.

          So instead of clipping a wire you plug in a Bluetooth OBD interface and flip a bit in the car’s memory that the engineers conveniently forgot to remove which disables the beeps…

      But I already have to do that with the annoying auto-start-stop. This is becoming a whac-a-mole game.
