the headline is very misleading. There is no beeping at other drivers, or honking of horns.

Just a notification to you, the driver of your own car if your car a) knows the local speed and b) is exceeding it by a set amount.

This notification can be disabled.

like, if you're in a 30 zone, and go 35, your satnav/gps will go "ding!" and a small light will go on the dash/lcd screen.
