Ford is the first vehicle manufacturer to offer an system that can help a driver to avoid exceeding the speed limit.

Their 'Intelligent Speed Limiter' has a windscreen mounted camera that is able to recognise road signs and adjust the maximum vehicle speed accordingly. The data is also presented in the instrument cluster and includes the speed limit and other data such as overtaking restrictions.

Vehicles equipped with on-board navigation can also use the map data to supplement the sign recognition. The driver maintains full control, the limit can be adjusted manually and overridden by firm pressure on the accelerator if required.

Rather than use engine braking to retard speed, Ford controls the amount of fuel entering the engine and thus restricts engine torque.
