There is a gentleman's agreement between many manufacturers of street legal cars to produce vehicles that will not accelerate to faster than 120-130mph unless some special conditions or limits are met.

Been that way for at least a decade.

Speeds within many highway speed limits (like 75mph) are not 120-130mph however.
Not all laws are best enforced by manufacturer collusion. I assure, if you want an corporate oligopoly, that's the way to go about it.

Make things. Let people figure out how to use them. Keep semiconductors neutral.
