Or a person who misreads the sign. Though the whole point is that a Tesla doesn't have the context to know that a residential zone with an 85mph speed limit sign is obviously some sort of error.
- toast0 7y agoYou don't need residential context. You just need US context. I have never seen an 85 MPH speed limit sign in the US, ever. Up to 65 is common, with 70 or 75 sometimes on well maintained roads between urban areas. I can't recall seeing an 80, but I feel like maybe once or twice.

- pwinnski 7y agoHello from Texas! There's a pretty long stretch of road between Austin and San Antonio that's 85 the whole way. It's not as big as the I-35, but the higher speed limit means it draws quite a bit of traffic for people traveling between the two cities. Point stands: 85 is ridiculous in anything like a residential area.
- bazeblackwood 7y agoAccelerating to 85mph on a street where that speed is unsafe is absolutely not what a person who misreads the sign would do. 35mph tend to be that way for a reason (residential, stop signs, curved streets)
