Renault will cap the speed of all its cars including the Dacia branded vehicles on sale globally. The maximum speed these new vehicles will be able to achieve is 180 km/h.

The new announcement is made to ensure better and safer roads. Renault has also announced new safety tech in its cars. One of them is the Safety Coach that will process the road and traffic data to inform the drivers of potential risks on their route. It is will give real-time warnings.

Renault will also offer the new 'Safe Guardian' tech. It will automatically trigger in the event of a clear and present danger. The system will trigger in various scenarios like loss of control of the vehicle or taking a corner too fast. The system will take over the vehicle and will return the car to a safe driving mode. Renault has not explained the technology but this system may utilise autonomous driving technologies in its cars.

Also, Renault has announced that the cars will be equipped with sensors that would analyse driving data and will provide drivers with safety scores, to help and promote safer driving practices among the drivers. Also, to make it easier for the first-responders during an accident, Renault will put a QR code on its vehicles. It will provide all the information about the vehicle. It will also provide structural information about the vehicle to help passenger rescue time.
