(Nearly) all governments limit car speeds on public roads, with external enforcement (fines, road design, etc.).

Yet AFAIK no government enforces the national speed limit through a speed limiter on cars.

Exact same goal, maybe even result, but I'm uncomfortable with the semantics.

    That's Volvo, doing that of their own volition. 180 km/h is well within "criminal charges" territory in most places, they're not doing that for regulatory reasons but in order to improve their safety record. Completely different than if the government asked then to limit their cars to 130 km/h.
