If we get high enough the sound barrier will be at highway speeds.

True, but if you're high you shoukdn't drive

130 km/h is a slow sound barrier

it's not a limit

From Texas. I'm actually kinda surprised to hear how slow people are driving there. Our perspective is largely that the Autobahn is generally people driving closer to 160km/h.

We have roads here that are limited to 136km/h. So it's kinda surprising to find out that most Autobahn drivers aren't breaking that speed.

You just drive at how fast feels safe to you. On an empty Autobahn (or on workdays where traffic is usually faster because people driving at that time are more experienced) they do go 150-200 km/h. (90mph - 125mph) But not in the middle lane on a Sunday afternoon...

I personally feel comfortable up until about 150km/h

Well, it's the suggested sound barrier
