No. I want a speed limiter, something that means I can drive freely and worry about my high speed, not something that keeps the car going even when I take my foot off the gas.

I mean, I guess that might be better than Tesla's randomly slowing down then unexpectedly accelerating again mess, but a simple limiter is far better. The Tesla even has one, but you can't activate it or change it's speed except by going into the valet menu and assigning a PIN. It needs to be adjustable while you are driving with the controls on or around the wheel so that you can set it when the speed limit changes.

That falls under what I commented with regard to having more granular control of said smart features.
