Come for the video of a Tesla Robotaxi driving double the speed limit and hitting speed bumps like they are Mario Kart ramps…
… But stay for the conversation about social media silos and corporate disinformation campaigns!

Not surprising to anyone that ever driven a Tesla, or other brand car really. The speed sign detection only works about 90% of the time, which is fine if you are in control, but for self driving? Had the same with BMW, Mercedes, Renault, Honda. None of the cars I’ve driven over the past years were close to 100% correct with reading signage.
It’s almost as if we need a nationwide GPS driven speed limit detection system, rather than relying on some crappy cameras.
That way manual drivers can be warned if they’re exceeding the limit as well.
Yeah, it’s so horrible especially when it reads a speed limit from an adjacent road or, even worse, from a label on the back of a truck
Wait a second. Are you saying we can hack them? This is wonderful.
It’s not at all difficult to do really. Just steal one 30 kph sign and place it on the highway and let carnage ensue.
Seems like it would be jail time if you get caught. Or serious prison time if it causes a fatal accident.
I’ve noticed that, too.
The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I’d call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.
Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.
Google maps knows the speed limit of most roads, why can’t that be used?
