Abstract

The system for limiting vehicle speed includes a sensor and computer system for controlling the speed of a vehicle under predetermined conditions. The system is designed and constructed to sense a plurality of conditions while the vehicle is in motion and to record these conditions for analysis, should an accident occur. One feature of the system is to control the vehicle's throttle to slow the vehicle upon sensing two conditions: (1) high vehicle speed; and, (2) lack of proper contact by the driver's hands with the steering wheel. The system can also sense a driver's heartbeat and record this and other data in the computer's memory. The computer also includes a real-time clock and the data recorded is timestamped and can be used for analysis, should an accident occur.
