Digital system automatically reduces electric bicycles’ power in built-up areas

The digital technology, which has been successfully trialled on a 4km stretch of bike lanes at Schiphol airport, was funded by the Dutch ministry of infrastructure and water management.

It strikes me that this technology might be able to be adapted for other road vehicles that sometimes kill.
