STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Worried you might be driving over the speed limit? Soon, you might not have to.

Earlier this month, State. Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) introduced legislation that, if passed, would require all vehicles built after Jan. 1, 2024 that are registered in New York to include advanced safety technology, including speed-limiting capabilities.

The speed-limiting technology, known formally as intelligent speed assistance (ISA), is widely used in European countries and can be programmed to prevent drivers from exceeding the posted speed limit.

The bill references the recent rise in traffic fatalities in New York City, citing the spike in deaths as justification for requiring the new vehicle safety features.

Traffic violence in New York City skyrocketed in 2021 to levels not seen in years. There were over 270 traffic-related deaths on city streets in 2021 -- the deadliest year of Mayor de Blasios term. Unfortunately, it was not an outlier. There were also record deaths in 2020, with 243 confirmed traffic fatalities. The unfortunate trends we are witnessing add up to a crisis. Each death is preventable. A multifaceted approach to street safety is necessary to keep our pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and all road users safe, the legislation reads.

In addition to the speed-limiting technology, the bill would require all new vehicles to come equipped with various other advanced safety features, including advanced emergency braking (AEB), emergency lane keeping systems (ELKS), blind spot information systems (BSIS), drowsiness and distraction recognition technology, rear-view camera sensor systems and event data recorders (EDR).

Vehicle technology has advanced significantly in recent years, with advanced safety features now available that have the potential to greatly reduce injuries and deaths on our roadways. We must use every tool available to us to keep New York safe, the bill continues.

EFFORTS IN NYC

Earlier this month, Mayor Eric Adams announced that intelligent speed assistance technology had been installed in a select number of city fleet vehicles.

As of June 30, the intelligent speed assist technology has been installed in 50 of the citys vehicles as part of an $80,000 pilot program that limits speeds based on an areas speed limits.

If this is a successful pilot, we want to see this go throughout every vehicle we are using in our city fleet, the mayor said at the time. Even as the speed limit changes from highway to the streets, were going to ensure that vehicles stay within the speed limits.

Emergency vehicles are currently exempt from the pilot program, including those the mayor uses to get around the city.

The initial rollout of the technology spanned several city agencies, including the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT), the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC).

The system uses telematics and sensors in the car to limit how fast a driver can go based on the speed limit of the area.

Within the first few weeks of using the technology, city agencies logged over 10,000 miles and there had not yet been any issues, DCAS Deputy Commissioner and New York City Chief Fleet Officer Keith Kerman said.

As part of DCAS efforts to implement vehicle safety retrofits, the department has installed over 65,000 safety improvements to city fleet units, including driver alert systems, telematics, truck side-guards, automatic braking, back-up alerts, dash cams and heated mirrors, according to the mayors office.

Using telematics alerts, New York City has already cut excessive speeding by fleet units in more than half, Kerman said. DCAS will now implement active and passive intelligent speed assistance technology inside each pilot vehicle to further reduce illegal speeding and help keep New Yorkers safer.

With the continuous rise in global energy demand, clean energy initiatives, and subsidies for power generation using sustainability, the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy has also increased.The intermittent power generation from renewable sources of energy will increase the need for solutions such as battery energy storage in both grid and off-grid locations. Thus, the rise in the use of renewable energy will fuel the demand for secondary batteries during the forecast period.

Inside the probe will be a single instrument weighing only two pounds. There is no camera on board to take images as the probe falls through the clouds of Venusthere simply isnt the radio power or time for it to beam much back to Earth. We have to be very, very frugal with the data that were sending back, says Beck.

It is not images scientists are after, however, but a close-up inspection of Venuss clouds. That will be provided by an autofluorescing nephelometer, a device that will flash an ultraviolet laser on droplets in Venuss atmosphere to determine the composition of molecules inside them. As the probe descends, the laser will shine outwards through a small window. It will excite complex moleculespotentially including organic compoundsin the droplets, causing them to fluoresce.

Were going to look for organic particles inside the cloud droplets, Seager says. Such a discovery wouldnt be proof of lifeorganic molecules can be created in ways that have nothing to do with biological processes. But if they were found, it would be a step toward us considering Venus as a potentially habitable environment, says Seager.

Only direct measurements in the atmosphere can look for the types of life we think could still exist on Venus. Orbiting spacecraft can tell us a great deal about the planets broad characteristics, but to really understand it we must send probes to study it up close. The attempt by Rocket Lab and MIT is the first with such a clear focus on life, although the Soviet Union and the US sent probes to Venus in the 20th century.

The mission will not look for phosphine itself because an instrument capable of doing so would not fit in the probe, Seager says. But that could be a job for NASAs DAVINCI+ mission, set to launch in 2029.

NASA /ARC VIA RESEARCHGATE

The Rocket LabMIT mission will be short. As the probe falls, it will have just five minutes in the clouds of Venus to perform its experiment, radioing its data back to Earth as it plummets towards the surface. Additional data could be taken below the clouds, if the probe survives. An hour after entering the atmosphere of Venus, the probe will hit the ground. Communications will probably be lost some time before that.

Jane Greaves, who led the initial study of phosphine on Venus, says she is looking forward to the mission. Im very excited about it, she says, adding that it has a great chance at detecting organic materials, which might mean life is there.

Seager hopes this is just the start. Her team is planning future missions to Venus that will be able to follow up on results from this tentative glimpse into the atmosphere. One idea is to place balloons in the clouds, like the Soviet Vega balloons in the 1980s, which could carry out longer investigations.
