> The car reads speed-limit signs and adjusts the car to the speed on the sign.

I hope this feature can be disabled. Where I live, the flow of traffic regularly exceeds the stated speed limit - sometimes by 20 mph. It would be very silly to be limited like this.




I am kind of curious what the vision system does when the sign has different speeds for different classes of vehicle. Or signs for night vs day.


Or on various Seattle roads, like I-5 where the speed limit is variable not just by time of day and congestion, but even which lane you're in. (Not to mention that the signs over each lane don't show the standard white rectangle with black text.)


Indeed, even the Google Automated Driving system evaluates car-flow around it, and is prepared to violate the driving speed limit by as much as 10 MPH if traffic is going significantly faster than the posted limits.
