Reading speed limit signs

[brandonee916]

Traffic Sign Recognition is something I miss from my BMWs.... hoping Tesla will implement it soon. Sometimes I'll glance down and the wrong speed will be showing on the screen

I love my 3 overall but this and the media interface are my biggest annoyances. Pretty minor in the big picture but both are big opportunities for improvement.

The nice thing is that this is just software and that can easily be fixed in an OTA update.

My new model 3 seems to not "see" many speed limit signs, especially if they are set at a distance from the roadway

That's because it currently doesn't... ;-)

Speed Limit data is currently only pulling from the Nav system

maybe my terminology isn't spot on but the car most certainly "reads" the speed limit signs

The AP1 cars read the signs and use it for determining the speed limit. (Which is mostly nice until it reads a school zone speed during non-school zone hours, when on autopilot.) But it works pretty well during construction zones.
The AP2 cars do not read the signs yet. There just seems to be a very location accurate database for speed limits. But, if there is a construction speed limit or updated speed limit, it does not detect it.

Speed limit data is pretty inaccurate in the Minneapolis/Rochester/Mankato, MN area. If pulling from a navigation database, the database is pretty outdated.

It may appear to be doing so, but actually is not - rather it is "Looking up the speed limit" from a database based on your GPS location. One clue that this is the case is that Temporarily reduced speed limits (ie "Work Zones") will never show up correctly on your Model 3 display.
