All new cars will be fitted with speed limiters from 2022 under tough EU safety rules.
The Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) black boxes will use GPS to work out what the speed limit is and will then ensure the car doesn't break it.
New models will need to have an ISA fitted as standard within three years after the European Commission approved the legislation.
This will include cars in Britain even if Brexit happens because the UK’s Vehicle Certification Agency said it will still mirror the EU rules.
But AA president Edmund King said the technology could make cars less safe and the 'best speed limiter is the driver’s right foot' when used 'to do the right speed in the right situation'.
'The right speed is often below the speed limit, for example, outside a school with children around, but with ISA there may be a temptation to go at the top speed allowed which may not be appropriate,' he said.
'Sometimes a little speed also helps to keep safe on the road, for example, overtaking a tractor on a country road or joining a motorway.'
