That's not at all the same logic. Yes, cars can go way above speed limits. And there are use cases where cars need to have more power (driving uphill for example). But this is about an autopilot specifically programmed/instructed to actually go above speed limits, and going above speed limits is illegal. So the setting in itself is illegal. Having the technical ability to go above speed limits is not. If the driver chooses to use that ability and go above speed limits, it's illegal again. This is not rocket science.

    Henley & Partners. Who - in a totally unrelated matter of course - netted almost 56 million euros off of scummy people like Russian oligarchs by helping them get Maltese 'Golden passports', a program ruled illegal by the European Court of Justice in part due to leaked documents from Henley & Partners itself.
