How come MR is not already losing their shit over this news?
Mandatory starting in 2022, all cars to be equipped with "driver aids" that prevents driving over the posted speed limit.
(if approved by all members and I doubt Germany is a fan...)

Members of the European Parliament’s Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection voted last week to approve a range of new vehicle safety standards including automatic detection of pedestrians and cyclists, and a new direct vision standard for lorries and buses to enable drivers to have a better view of other road users around their vehicles. MEPs also voted for the installation of ISA devices on all new cars from 2022.

Modern speed limiters do not automatically apply brakes but cap the top speed of motor vehicles by restricting engine fuel supplies. The technology works by using a speed sign-recognition cameras and GPS-linked speed limit data.
To soften the imposition of ISA technology it is proposed that the systems would – initially, at least – include override functionality such as stepping down hard on the gas pedal. However, the internal “black box” would track such overrides, and it is possible that motor insurance companies will increasingly demand that drivers stick to speed limits and do not drive aggressively. Such technology is already available for teen drivers, but is expected to be rolled out more widely as the adoption of ISA and Event Data Recorder technology gains public acceptance.
