Volvo, the company who could not make better cars and instead limits them citing “safety”. But sure, create fonts because reasons. They could try to be better at engineering.

They say:
>The problem with speeding is that above certain speeds, in-car safety technology and smart infrastructure design are no longer enough to avoid severe injuries and fatalities in the event of an accident.
And, frankly, they're right: you cannot engineer your way out of the laws of physics.
Yes you can. You have a Audi/BMW/Mercedes that do do 250km/h without any issues. Even more on some models.
You have Audi/BMW/Mercedes that can crash at 250km/h in real world conditions "without any issues?"
I'm doubtful.

Huh? Is the claim that Volvo is incapable of making cars that travel above 180kph?
Yes. Otherwise they would not limit them.
Lol, but this is just demonstrably false? Volvo has made cars with higher top speeds than that for years?
