Volvo limits its cars’ top speed to 112 mph
|New York (CNN Business)Volvo will put a speed limit on its cars as part of its effort to eliminate fatal accidents.
The automaker says the limit will stop cars from going faster than 180 kilometers per hour, which works out to 112 mph. It said it is also considering other technology that could put stricter speed limits on cars driving near schools and hospitals.
Most cars can drive faster than 150 mph, and some automakers offer performance cars capable of driving even faster than that.
