Speed limiters
"From 7th July 2024 onwards, all car manufacturers will be legally required to ensure any cars on sale in their showrooms have speed limiters fitted. This means that any showroom cars without speed limiters will need to have the technology retrofitted."
The end is nigh.

What's the limit? Is it far enough the national speed limit so as not to introduce a safety risk?

Drivers will be able to turn ISA off, although it’ll be reactivated when the car is restarted.
Two buttons to turn off every time you start the car then. Auto start/stop, then ISA!

For now, but the plan is to make it enforceable. Next comes road pricing. Yay! It's the future! I also read that ford has said they will be shipping far fewer ice cars to Europe to avoid paying eco penalties. That's not a good look.

Not quite what you might think.
Yes cars need to have the speed limiter technology, but it doesn't need to be activated, and it can also be deactivated when you floor the accelerator e.g. to overtake. Also it's not actually a speed limited (though can be configured to be on some cars), it's a beep or haptic feedback if you exceed what it thinks is the limit. It's been a requirement for new type approvals from 2022. From July, it has to be incorporated into models approved before then.
