The speed limit on UK motorways is 70mph..why sell cars capable of 150mph+ ? Surely the SMARTEST car would be one that just detects whenever it is on a public road and set a max speed of, say, 85mph.
This would be dead easy to accomplish. All cars have to have a valid MOT certificate. When cars go into garage for MOT they could be fitted with limiter which defaults to 85. All race tracks could be fitted with 'disabling' transmitters so that all cars with their grounds are able to go full whack.
