2 details which seem to buried in the media stories are (1) the system will be switchable by the driver, so like auto stop/start, you could just turn it off every-time you start the car if so inclined and (2) when activated, you can still exceed the limit by pressing down hard on the accelerator - much like the speed limit feature in our cars now.
So it seems more a case of "it will be mandatory to fit a speed limiting system in all cars but it won't be mandatory for drivers to use it"; that's just not as catchy a headline though is it.
I think there is a massive difference between forcing manufacturers to install the tech, and forcing its use to be mandatory - if its the former, then I'm not overly worried; just more bloatware on cars but we are used to that. If its the latter, then I'll be concerned. The fact its switchable gives me hope.
