Exactly - stick to the speed limit and the car won't beep. Some cars have this as an option already (my 2019 Kia Niro hybrid has) and I set the limit, it's a bit of a faff and I don't often use it as I stick to speed limits anyway. It wouldn't be a great leap to connect this to the car's GPS/Mapping system.

Of course you'll have those that think speed limits are for other people/petrol heads complaining about their 'rights' and all that guff.
