I have a car with an intelligent speed limiter.
It is dangerous.
I tried it yesterday for the first - and last - time. On the highway, it picked up a speed limit sign that was intended for the side lane, and started reducing my speed fast and unexpectedly.
I love the speed limiter, the dumb version. I think it's a super nice way to avoid accidentally going over the speed limit without having to keep an eye on the speedometer, and therefore off the road.
I would love to use an intelligent speed limiter. But let's face it, there are always cases where those things will fail unexpectedly and dangerously.
That's not even considering voluntary tampering with the road signs. What if I put up a 5km/h sign along the highway. How would the car determine it's bogus?
I wouldn't mind a global limiter that prevents going to unsafe speeds well over the highway speed limits.
- midasz 4y agoAre there so many unmapped roads in the US? Or are there arbitrary variants of limits? I use Waze in NL and so far, for every road it knows the limit.
- aspyct 4y agoWhat makes you think I'm in the US? I'm in Belgium, and around here we have a lot of poorly organized road works.
- Akronymus 4y agoI have two kinds of speed limiters on my car. One for only allowing up to x km/h unless i fully press the gas pedal in. And one for automatically going y km/h while keeping a certain distance, which can be overwritten by any amount of pressing the gas pedal, or cancelled by any amount of pressing the brake pedal.
