What do you mean the information about roads is updated? Does Tesla require info about specific roads?
- alasdair_ 6y agoIt can read the street signs, but it also uses published information about the road in the absence of a sign (e.g. you turn on to a new road - what is the speed limit if there is no visible sign?)
- bosie 6y agothat seems awfully dangerous, though? if you drive yourself and have no sign there, you can at least argue. if the published information tesla is using is claiming 100 miles an hour is the limit, the car will speed up?
- alasdair_ 6y agoIt uses other information too. It wouldn’t go over 45 or so unless it’s clearly a freeway with a divider and other cars were going that fast. And there is probably something that uses last known speed, and it remembers speeds it has seen before. But the updates do other things too, like help it understand new kinds of signs or to improve handling of weird situations.
