California DMV and CHP launch the FAST program to flag drivers exceeding 100 mph for pre-court review, indicating a change in traffic enforcement approach. Reported 18 hours ago by Stephen Rivers The FAST program in California forwards 100-mph speeding citations to the DMV. Drivers may face license suspension prior to a court verdict. Officials state that prompt action can aid in diminishing fatal accidents. While speeding may not always be wise, many drivers engage in it occasionally. However, very few travel at speeds over 100 mph. In California, the repercussions of exceeding this limit are set to become more immediate and severe. Now, individuals caught speeding past 100 mph could find their driving privileges suspended even before a judge addresses their case. The possibility of plea bargains for maintaining a clean driving record may no longer be an option. This new initiative could lead to a significant transformation in how authorities handle speeders. Transforming Speeding Penalties The FAST program, introduced by the California DMV and the California Highway Patrol, automatically flags any driver cited for exceeding 100 mph (160 km/h). Rather than waiting for a court decision, these citations are promptly sent to the DMV's Driver Safety Branch for administrative evaluation. Officials there can determine whether to suspend or revoke a driver's license, independent of the court's eventual ruling. This represents a major shift from the typical national practice, where license penalties are often contingent on convictions. Now, under FAST, the DMV can act swiftly to assess whether action is warranted prior to court proceedings. "We believe that early intervention is essential for saving lives," stated DMV Director Steve Gordon. "Our goal is to take immediate steps against reckless drivers before their negligence results in fatal accidents. We’re being proactive, and alongside our CHP partners, we aim to curb this dangerous behavior." Tightening Speed Enforcement The urgency of this initiative is supported by statistics. As per CHP data, officers issue around 1,600 citations monthly for speeding over 100 mph. In 2024, over 18,000 drivers received tickets for triple-digit speeds. Earlier this year, CHP deployed 100 low-profile, specially marked patrol vehicles designed to blend in with traffic and catch what they refer to as “video game-style” driving. In the first half of the year, these vehicles contributed to nearly 33,000 speed-related citations, including more than 1,100 for speeds beyond 100 mph. The pilot program will undergo close examination, with the DMV comparing citation results to data from previous years to evaluate whether this method effectively reduces accidents. To ensure traveler safety, CHP is initiating the first of two statewide Holiday Enforcement Periods (HEPs) this month to decrease traffic incidents. The Christmas HEP starts tomorrow, December 24, at 6:00 p.m. and will last until 11:59 p.m. on December 25.

      China's newest automotive startup aims to make a significant impact at CES with two major unveilings.

      Kosmera has teased an energy hypercar for the event, featuring a total output of up to 1,877 horsepower. This hypercar will be accompanied by a sedan reminiscent of Porsche designs.

      We first reported on Kosmera’s high-profile debut last week, and the company has since confirmed that they will showcase two vehicles at CES. While the Porsche-like sedan has been previously seen, Kosmera has now also revealed plans to present a "new energy hypercar."

      The startup isn't sharing much information at this time, but it has promised that the hypercar will "blend classic supercar heritage with next-generation technology." They emphasized that both vehicles will be "stunning to behold, thrilling to drive, and exhilarating to enjoy."

      The teaser image provides limited details, but it suggests that the hypercar will feature a prominent grille reminiscent of Alfa Romeo and Bugatti designs, along with curvy fenders, a sloping roof, and a large rear spoiler.

      The company stated that the hypercar will be equipped with a high-performance powertrain capable of delivering up to 469 horsepower (350 kW / 476 PS) per wheel, translating to a total output of up to 1,877 horsepower (1,400 kW / 1,903 PS).

      Kosmera further mentioned that a nearly 1:1 power-to-weight ratio is expected, along with a high-tech chassis constructed from "aerospace-grade composites" and 3D-printed metals, which is believed to provide "exceptional torsional stiffness."

      Additionally, there will be an AI Coach designed to enhance the skills of regular drivers on the track. This feature will reportedly utilize an augmented reality heads-up display to guide drivers along the optimal racing line.

      Kosmera also announced the presence of a “revolutionary active linear motor suspension system,” intended to effortlessly switch between a smooth “zero-sensation” ride and a stiffer, race-ready configuration. This system will include a unique “dual-steering-wheel unlock mechanism” for added versatility.

      However, it's important to temper expectations, as the models are referred to as prototypes and static display vehicles, meant to highlight the company’s design capabilities. These vehicles are intended for the premium market, though production plans and availability have not been disclosed.

      Another point to note is that the cars are unlikely to be available in the U.S., as the Kosmera name has been trademarked by China’s Xing Chen Future Automotive Technology Co Ltd. This implies that for many Americans, the closest opportunity to view one of these vehicles will be at CES.
