The days of high-speed chases in California may be numbered.

A new law proposed by state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat who represents parts of San Francisco, would require all new cars sold in the Golden State to have devices installed that would stop the vehicle from going more than 10 mph faster than the speed limit.

“Senate Bill 961 requires changes to vehicles directly, including a first-in-the-nation requirement that all new vehicles sold in California install speed governors, smart devices that automatically limit the vehicle’s speed to 10 miles above the legal limit,” said a press release from Wiener’s office announcing the proposed legislation.
