I see chances of this as described being about zero.

But the flip side is that US drives get worse and worse, more and more fatalities/accidents. People don't want to drive, they want to paly with their phone the whole time, which even on a site like this is a majority of people. Big phone-mounts on dashes and people holding phones as they drive. People want auto-driving and limits like this imposed, because the other options are more rigorous training/testing and enforcement and no one wants to pay for or have that. It's all fine when you think you are the best driver in the world, but then the person that thinks they are the best driver in the world would never support that in voting, etc. Unless a reasonable compromise can be reached, it seems to be marching this way towards more control and safeguards, because we ain't got money or time to do it "the right way".

The new Z06 does this. Limits RPM to 6,600 for the first 500 miles
