I wouldn't mind an option for finer-grained control. People around here drive most normal roads 5-10 over, but anything residential has to be strictly 25mph or less. Due to the residential streets I have to keep my AP set to "speed limit" but I'd like to be able to set it to at least +5mph outside of that.
Before FSD Beta, I used to have my speed offset at +10mph, but for Beta changed it to +5 primarily for secondary roads. It would be nice to have separate offsets for highway vs. secondary, but it’s pretty easy to increase/decrease the max speed by 5mph using the scroll wheel or autopilot stalk (legacy S/X). When I drive in my residential community I change the offset to 0, so I would actually need 3 different offsets to cover my use cases, which would be too confusing.
Doubtful. The car reads the limit on the right and keeps that until it sees another sign. So if you're in the right lane and pass a sign, then the car changes lanes to the left, it won't change speeds. I have had my car pick up speed limit signs on the left when entering construction zones, but if there is also a sign on the right, it'll read the right hand sign by default.
Your doubt is wrong! when I am on the city service road, the speed limit on the LHS of the road is 50 mph which is the legal limit, it also happens to have a sign for the highway speed 70 mph which is for the highway vehicle to see and use. Once it sees the speed of 70 mph, it speeds up to 70 mph which is speeding. In the same scenario, when I am traveling on the interstate (right-most lane), when it sees the express lane sign of 75 mph it speeds up to 75 mph, again this may be a Texas vs California thing.
You misunderstood. I was saying doubtful to your statement about hoping Tesla learns to read the signs properly in the scenario you gave.
What I want is a separate offset for unmarked roads (mostly neighborhood) and a different one for marked ones. I normally drive 5 mph below speed limit for unmarked and 5 mph above for marked.
Essentially just experience, which is significant. Many YT posters/videos get the same software we run but perhaps 1 to 3 weeks the rest of peons like me. And obviously that's only when a new release is available so for the most part we're running the same software.
One of the problems where I live is the legal speed limit is often too fast in many neighborhoods which means I often reduce the speed to 5 mph below the legal speed. Nobody drives 30mph in these neighborhoods but that is the speed limit. I don't know how FSD could solve this. (Note: none these streets have speed limit signs so FSD has to rely on mapping info and most are unmarked but not all.
