It does still work, but the underlying tech is cruise control, the purpose of which is to not need to press the accelerator...I had this yesterday when the car picked up a 20mph sign on a parallel road. I just pressed the accelerator to override the speed.
I did see a warning about Autosteer only working up to the posted (wrong) speed, but as far as I could tell AP was still working regardless?
If Autopilot can distinguish a bicycle from a motorcycle, why can't it just read all the text on a sign to know what to do. I'm pretty sure my car knows it is not a truck or a bus!
Annoying, but fair under current rules. Wish they would let us report and annotate things like this, especially when some are so reliably re-producable. They could crowd source the tagging of this and have it fixed for many situations pretty quick.Because someone else (Mobileye) apparently has the patent for reading all the text on the road signs. So Tesla have to recognise it as a 50mph road sign, not as a road sign that says 30/40/50mph etc on it.
That seems unlikely to me. How could one company own the rights to read a sign? They can have specific patent on exactly how it works, but not the fact that it does it. I could be wrong, but seems like a lack of focus on the problem. If this is not the way the signage works in California, then it isn't much on their radar.Because someone else (Mobileye) apparently has the patent for reading all the text on the road signs.

That's software patents I'm afraid. Total cluster.... But also way off topic.That seems unlikely to me. How could one company own the rights to read a sign?

Autosteer won't operate at greater than the detected speed limit (+your offset) on a single carriage/A road. You can just use the scroll wheel on dual carriageway or motorway.I still don't understand why you can't override it just with the scroll wheel?
But then, I have never tried using AP or TACC in a 30, doesn't really make any sense to use it there to me.
I've had to queue 2 miles in start stop traffic in the past to get to a roundabout, having active cruise and lane keeping would be very handy in that situationI still don't understand why you can't override it just with the scroll wheel?

How would the issue this thread is about be an issue if you aren't able to drive at the speed limit anyway? What's stopping you do this?I've had to queue 2 miles in start stop traffic in the past to get to a roundabout, having active cruise and lane keeping would be very handy in that situation
I was just explaining a use case to the other poster who said they never use the AP in 30mph areas.How would the issue this thread is about be an issue if you aren't able to drive at the speed limit anyway? What's stopping you do this?
Obviously if Tesla use someone else in the background then ignore the above...
