Something similar happened some years back, I cannot find the info now but (I think it was) France or Germany tested a system that would control your motor speed on the highway. So you would be motoring down the highway and when you entered "the speed zone" (my words) your car would only achieve a speed they deemed safe or sufficient. Looking at it now, I am sure the CHP would love to see it in place!

The European Union passed a law that new vehicles sold after July 1, 2022 must be equipped with speed limiters. So far they sense the limit, check against the GPS location and then give visual feedback to tell the driver he's exceeding the limit while reducing vehicle speed. If the driver chooses to maintain speed the accelerator pedal vibrates against his foot, and becomes increasingly harder to press.
Lots of scuttlebutt about the system coming to the USA, but nothing has happened to date.
