The motives of the GP (me) were to use a word that I know to convey a meaning that I intended. Apologies for any ruckus this may have caused.

Whenever a mission like this is mentioned, it always seems to get forgotten that humankind has already had several functioning landers on the surface of Venus, and even returned colour photographs from the surface.

They probably didn't think of that. How foolish of them.

Now as to the ability of the drive being ablate control that kind of acceleration...

The fact that your autocorrect changed "able to" to "ablate" suggests you write about this sort of thing a lot...

Almost all cars have, or could have for no additional material cost, the ability to limit speed in software.

You actually pay much more for components engineered to cope with the usually-unused capability to go faster: wheels, tyres, brakes, gearing, power output etc.

But can it separate the billion things according to the one true taxonomy?

Because of their lower CO2 output, even the dirty old ones are less bad for the global environment than petrol / gasoline cars. Older diesels are much worse for humans and other animals in proximity to them because of the particulates, but modern diesels as as clean as petrol engines.
