    Maybe closer to cars not having limiters to prevent speeding.

    They could. The tech exists. Even to lock it to specific speed limits (not just an upwards cap) using GPS.

    But most would say that’s overreaching. Until an insurance company sues/lobbies for it because it would improve their bottom line to force drivers to drive more responsibly by legally pushing the manufacturers to add limiters.
