Speed limiters on commercial trucks already exist. They could be applied to private cars too. Not sure why, on public roads, there is much of a reason to drive 100 miles per hour. Many cars can go beyond that.
I agree about a remote kill switch. That has too high a potential to be abused. A limiter though, one that was fixed and not variable based on anything, would be fine I think.
I’m surprised they didn’t just require manufacturers to install acceleration limiters and remote kill switches. Hopefully they never do.

No fucking thanks, man!
I would 100% support electronic speed limiters and acceleration limiters on public roads.
And then when you need to accelerate to avoid an accident, there’s not enough power and BLAMMO! Slow cars are dangerous cars.
There are probably 1000x more situations where you accelerate into a crash, rather than out of one. Slow cars are safe cars.
Just chiming in to say I see your point. Slower cars allow for more reaction time, and therefore safer reactions.
