Did any of you really think there wasn't going to be a reaction from Tesla with regards to some owners doing irresponsible, and even deadly, actions while AP is engaged? I don't see what the big deal here is. I certainly don't see any reason to be "outraged" like some seem to think the reaction should be...

That's because most people don't.
definitely true. honestly, in northern VA if you are on 66 or 495 if there isn't heavy traffic and you are going the speed limit (55mph) you are an asshole. you are also operating your vehicle more dangerously than if you were traveling with the flow of traffic (generally somewhere between 65 and 75 mph).
however, if you are trying to get your vehicle to auto-drive itself in violation of existing laws, you are also an asshole. if you want to speed, put your hands on the wheel and drive it yourself with the rest of us law-breakers. it just makes sense to me that Tesla does not want to assume the liability of its autopilot willingly breaking traffic laws when it doesn't have to.

You shouldn't poo-poo on something before you try it.This goes to the reason why I have no interest in AP/FSD. I don't want the car to drive the way it wants drive. The goal appears to be safety, which lends the car to drive like an old lady (sorry if I offend any old ladies). I don't want the car to go the speed limit, come to a complete stop at stop signs. Will it turn right on red, will it pass the actual old lady in front of me? It sounds absolutely frustrating to me.
Also don't forget, that on interstate travel (i..e long distance trips) where AP shines, none of this thread applies. Nothing was changed there.
Tesla vehicles do not have a gas tank or gas engine!He wants to speed.
I just hit the gas during auto steer
But you can use Tacc in this situation no problem.A few others have answered that Autopilot is speed restricted on non-divided roads. The OP says in the latest update that limit changed from +5 to +0. For me even the +5 is too low as on a speed limit 35 road people are traveling anywhere from 40-50 mph. So I just don't use Autopilot in these situations.
Then the obvious solution is to not set the max above the speed limit when initially engaged, but allow the driver to do so manually later. Otherwise, I see this as shifting the liability more toward Tesla than away. As in, "I knew the speed was too slow for the traffic conditions, but AutoPilot wouldn't let me set the cruise control to a higher speed. I wouldn't have started that multicar pileup if I could have set the speed I wanted, like any other normal cruise control. Autopilot thwarted my attempts to drive more safely." And then the press goes wild.
No, it would be setting the speed upon engaging AP, but then allow the driver to override. The driver would have total control in that case.Either way, you are looking at Autopilot as a driver. Autopilot is just lane keeping assist. It is an assistant, not a driver. When looked at as an assistant it shouldn't matter how fast you are going. It isn't driving, it is doing what you tell it to do.
The service center is not aware that the speed limit (5 mph) should have changed. They are looking into it, though their response is still that AP is only meant for the highway.
A post a few before yours reminded me of the "protest at speed limit" events of the past.Yes the new version limits your AP to the speed limit on undivided roads. This is probably getting us ready for self driving cars which will not exceed the speed limit or the driverless cars could get a speeding ticket. Bummer.
I wonder if they'll have a specific +10 setting for Arizona.As someone else mentioned above, I think this is just getting everyone used to the fact that autonomous cars will not be able to intentionally break traffic laws (including speed limits).
