I recently bought an ebike that has peddle assist settings of 1-5. With 1 being lowest and 5 being maximum. These settings essentially act like gears setting the maximum motor power.

In crowded areas I set the speed to 1 so the bike can't exceed 15kph, on open roads I set the speed to 5 which is unlimited. I would definitely want this in a car.

Interesting. A car with peddle assist. I know that's not what you meant, but that's where my head went.
