This is interesting. Autopilot (without FSD Beta) will not go over 5mph of a road's known speed limit. Moreover, Autopilot will brake to a stop when it detects a potential obstacle and/or collision.
Riad hit and killed the couple after a left turn from exiting the freeway.
So either speed limit data was missing (in which case the limitation doesn't apply), he had his foot on the pedal and didn't know it (during which Autopilot will not brake; the driver is notified of this if the pedal is pressed down for more than a few seconds), or he turned Autopilot off before the crash (unlikely given the data that's in this article).
- oxplot 4y ago> Autopilot (without FSD Beta) will not go over 5mph of a road's known speed limit. I don't remember such a limit on my M3 but will check tomorrow. You can simply accelerate to any speed below AP's global limit (90mph in this case) and then engage AP. It'll keep at that speed. Meanwhile, Model S'es manual doesn't seem to mention anything in this regard.

- nunez 4y agoIf you do that on a road with a speed limit, the cruise speed will be set to a max of five over that limit
- oxplot 4y agoWell, over here in Oz, all roads have speed limits which Tesla knows about and displays. Will have to try myself and will report. Although I'm fairly sure you're confusing engaging AP when under the speed limit at which point it will set it to the speed limit, minus or plus the amount you configure in the settings. So if you configured it to be +5 mph of the speed limit, that's what it gets set to. But if you were already driving at 30mph over the speed limit and engage AP, it will keep your speed. And it makes sense, in case it has incorrectly determined the speed limit, it won't cause safety issue by driving too slowly.
- zozin 4y ago“Autopilot (without FSD Beta) will not go over 5mph of a road's known speed limit.” This is false.
- malfist 4y agoIt also presupposed autopilot will ever malfunction or misinterpret speed limits.
- brandonagr2 4y agoIt was true for a previous iteration of city streets feature, never for autopilot on the highway, and not for the current fsd beta
- nunez 4y agoIt's true on city streets. That limit is removed on highways. But the incident occurred on a city street hence me mentioning it
