So long as the device can be readily overriden I see no problems - I often use cruise control where there is a need to keep to the limit due to SPECS or whatever - easily cancelled or overriden where needed.
The danger comes if such a device were to be made compulsory - this would lead to 70mph clumps of traffic on motorways akin to elephant racing trucks which is hardly safe.
