This is about enforcing a law in order to defend the right of its citizens to move safely in public without being endangered by a speeding car. I’m not a fan of EU mentality but in this case i don’t see the problem.

I think a major problem if the car designer designed it to slow down would be emergency situations where you have to speed to evade/flee danger, or you have to use your car to ram a roadblock or group of attackers. Your vehicle is a weapon and a tool, you should be able to use it to the extent required by the situation.

  I think the number of people killed by speeding cars is much higher than the number of people that would be killed by your hypothetical scenario, in any given time frame. That being said, the article specifies that the limiter can be overridden by pushing the pedal through.

Zombie/alien invasion. Americans are going to be driving 120 MPH waving their guns. Europeans are going to be driving 55 KMH holding their 5cm long steak knife. Your only hope will to be get Russia to come help.

  I kinda figured the Russians were too busy with their latest 'police action', to get involved with any "Zombie/alien invasion[s]."

  Same as when you park in the middle of an intersection or when your vehicle is blocking the access towards a burning building. Intent matters.

    No it doesn't. If you choose to block an intersection, and people die as a result, it doesn't matter what your intent was in blocking that intersection, you are responsible for the deaths.

      Sorry, I was not clear enough. I meant to say that if the Government takes control of your vehicle, because it blocks an intersection, that's a case where you would probably be okay with that.
