Speed limiters on commercial trucks already exist. They could be applied to private cars too. Not sure why, on public roads, there is much of a reason to drive 100 miles per hour. Many cars can go beyond that.

I agree about a remote kill switch. That has too high a potential to be abused. A limiter though, one that was fixed and not variable based on anything, would be fine I think.
