From Slashdot:
What's next? Nope, can't spin the wheels. Can't turn that sharply. Can't accelerate that fast. Can't lean the car over to the side that far. What, there is no road here according to nav? Then you can't go there. Noticed the nav display on your new car, how it shows the posted speed limit on many roads now? Soon you will not be able to exceed that speed. I have begun to pay attention to this, and the posted speed often does not match what my nav display shows.

We had a 1984 Nissan 300ZX non-turbo. The turbo version had a 137 mph speed limiter from the factory.

Yeah but the point was that Volvo is doing fleet wide speed limitations. Of course 112 will kill ya the same as 130. Volvo maybe trying to take back its uber safety reputation back from Subaru. Makes me wonder when all vehicles will be limited in the future?
