At least in the US, people don't want to be restricted.

Yups, this is one of those gun control or tax increase-type situations where the proposals start out reasonable/within your comfort zone, but you always have to think about the slippery slope. as someone already mentioned, what if it was limited to 90?
with that said, Volvo is doing this of their own accord. i'm not worried until governments try to pick this up, or some kind of political pressure gets exerted on all automakers.
