Tesla's FSD, despite a decade of promises, is still not ready. Most (non-Tesla) cars have some speed limit display, either based on vision or maps, and it works ~90% of the time. It's okay as a FYI, but not reliable enough to be more than that.
Before we can mandate software to observe the limits, we need proper software-readable signage.
Sometimes signs are placed between two roads running in parallel, and apply to the other one. Humans understand that subtlety in sign position, but computer vision doesn't. Signs can also be obscured by trees, etc.
My car's GPS-based speed detection doesn't understand height, so on crossings with bridges/overpasses it picks one at random. When I drive on a highway it can briefly flip to a speed limit of some ramp, and I wouldn't want this to cause phantom breaking.
- bluecalm 4y agoIt's very easy to make it reliable even if limited. For example detecting if you're within city borders and limiting your speed to 50km/h would improve things immensely. Add to that a complete no-brainer of limiting the top speed to say 140km/h. It still wouldn't be perfect but we don't need perfect. We need a way to stop the terror and danger speeding drivers impose on others. That we can pass e-bike speed limit in short time without even asking people if they want it while we can't limit cars, which actually cause hundred of thousands of deaths and injuries per year tells you all you need to know about the state of things.
