Should new cars be prevented from exceeding 100mph?

NTSB recommending installed technology to prevent reckless speeding
My first instinct is to say frick the gubment, I'll drive 120 in my Sonata if I want to! But the reality is there is no way I will ever drive over 100 mph on purpose and I hate people who do - drag racing assholes on the highway, criminal thugs fleeing from police, drunk NFL players (hello Henry Ruggs). This is one of those rare situations where I think common sense is overwhelming my libertarian instincts.

NTSB’s proposed solution: Adopting Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA). Rather than preventing a vehicle from ever exceeding a given threshold, ISA uses geolocation to automatically reflect the legal limit on a given street or highway. “Passive” ISAs issue audible or haptic alerts to drivers who exceed the top programmed speed, hopefully compelling them to slow down. “Active” ISAs intervene in the car’s mechanics, often by requiring the driver to apply extra force on the accelerator. ISAs can be set to kick in a few miles above the posted speed limit, giving drivers the ability to go faster when, for instance, passing a vehicle in the slow lane

In a libertarian paradigm, obviously not. As a libertarian living in a decidedly non-libertarian society, considering the constant onslaught of nanny state bullshite, I’m genuinely surprised this hasn’t already happened.

All cars should be on tracks like Hot Wheels

You down for breathalyzers being mandatory as well?

No, you could bypass it with a tuner anyway.

You seem like a really intelligent person. I'd guess your IQ is around 105 - 110. *tips fedora*

Being able to interfere with the operation of a vehicle from anywhere but the driver's seat sounds terrifying.
Governors; okay. Pretty gay but at least you can work around them. Software, geotracking, etc.,? Go frick yourself.

The dems and Biden made this mandatory in the 2021 omnibus spending bill. GOP tried to repeal it a few weeks ago but Dems and RINOs voted against it. Buy a new vehicle before 2026.

Let's ban fast cars, guns, and alcohol. We'd save a lot of lives. To be honest, rock music probably needs to go as well.

You need a cooler car. I go a hundred all the time.

Nope.
I want the technology put in place that if it detects you in the left lane and you are not passing someone in the right lane or avoiding an obstacle it swerves you hard to the left into the nearest tree.

What does libertarian have to do with a speed limit question?
Wow. Everything really is political these days.

Because while the state has the ability to set a limit that I am not supposed to exceed on their highways, I fail to see how it is not my right to choose whether to obey or dissent.

Why? A medical emergency is about the only reason I can think of to do so.

Made it from domalises in new orleans to the 10-12 split in BR in 43 minutes.
Two black guys in dodge challengers were cutting up so I just kept pace.

I'm preparing for the medical emergency
Reality is more 16 miles of deserted highway and a knowledge of if there is radar being run on that section.
