That explanation makes a lot of sense. The car thinks you are still on the highway and so it doesn't expect such sharp curves and so it has to make a decision between:
- override its understanding that it is in a highway, and so assume that curve it is detecting is legitimate, and slow down enough to take that curve
- or assume that its curve detection is incorrect and so continue to believe that it is still in a highway, and so slow down only to a pre-programmed acceptable level.
It took the later choice given the circumstances of how parallel and close you were to the highway.
