A limiter is a compressor with a high ratio and, generally, a fast attack time.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A compressor can also function as a limiter with extreme settings of its controls.

Is he suggesting a dynamic speed limiter, based around either GPS or transponders?
From the newscientist.com
Standard cruise control with speed limiter is also an easy-to-use and useful function.

My mentor, Herb Powers Jr., was the only guy I've ever seen not use a limiter at all.

Other than that, a good idea have they also thought of linking it to a speed limiter?
From the guardian.co.uk
Raphanel explained that the car had to be standard, but that the rev limiter was removed.
From the telegraph.co.uk
Still, thats preferable to the manual car which just hits a very intrusive rev limiter.

- In electronics, a limiter is a circuit that allows signals below a specified input power to pass unaffected while attenuating the peaks of stronger signals that exceed this input power.
- (Limiters) Areas for improvement that are keeping an athlete from achieving peak performance. These can be mental or physical, but unless they're improved, the athlete will never achieve their full potential. ...

- A signal processor whose output is constant above a preset input level. A compressor with a compression ratio of 10:1or greater, with the threshold set just below the point of distortion of the following device. Used to prevent distortion of attack transients or peaks
- An audio device that fixes a top audio signal level and stops incursions above that level without affecting the dynamic range of the signal below the threshold decided.
- An electronic circuit used to prevent the amplitude of a signal (volume, for example) from exceeding a specified level.
