If you drive 140km/h on the Autobahn you are part of the problem. I’d call you reckless sometimes.

That gauge says it's in mph. 200 kmph is only 124 mph, so that should confirm it even without the text.
As many others have mentioned, it depends on every factor from the driver to the vehicle to the conditions. An alert and able-bodied driver going 100 mph on the highway in a capable car is safe compared to a bad driver going 35 in a 40 zone in a Prius or CR-V with poor handling and stopping power. I am far more nervous seeing a shit car + driver on the same road as I am than being passed on the left at any speed differential. Personally, I've only gone up to the 130 limiter in my 3er (empty highways in Mexico during peak Covid times). [Exactly the speed limit + flow of traffic allowance] is fast enough for me in an X5.
