I'm surprised they didn't just require manufacturers to install acceleration limiters and remote kill switches. Hopefully they never do.

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.
