To top it off, ebikes and escooters have speed limiters or are outright banned in many places, yet cars never have speed limiters in them.

This is to protect the engines. You can get a car up above 100mph easily enough.

Every car made has a speed limiter that's usually capped at the rated speed for the tires.

I'm in the U.S., and I've never driven a car with one.

Germany here: the speed limiter in regards to tires is a little sticker.

Plus maybe a little warning in the cockpit that the speed limit has been exceeded
