Governors don’t “take control”. You don’t get to 101mph and it goes oh better reduce his speed. It prevents you from getting there.
Regardless, I re-read the article and it’s far more advanced than a governor. This article is indeed talking about something that takes control (uses technology to try and determine speed limits for example).
Especially if you have bitlocker enabled. Can’t boot to safe mode without entering the key, which typically only IT has access to.
