VW are currently having a mare with their ACC and speed limit adoption.

It sees a UK National Speed Limit sign, and converts it to 44mph, slows the car down, before changing it back to 70mph and speeds the car up again 😂

Some people are also experiencing the car setting the ACC speed to 110 mph too

Roll on automation. “Honest Officer, the car adopted the speed limit all by itself”.

 

I was on the M25 last week and mine thought the limit was 80MPH - good job I didn't have cruise on at the moment

 

I watched this yesterday. I’m sure he says that it gives up the warnings after a while and that it’s possible to turn it off before journeys as we can our lane assist thing

 

He did indeed. Separately I've driven cars in the past that have had a black box fitted for insurance and their app got very unhappy with straying a couple of mph over the posted limit.
With that system you spend most of the time watching the speedo.
I hope insurance companies don't start tracking how fast or not we are going and if we have switched off the monitoring 🙂

 

I wouldnt worry too much, people will just get this coded out. there will always be a way around stuff like this. Fail feature anyway. Probably cause more problems than it will fix.

 

Speed limiters are now mandatory, but you can turn them off | Evo

The use of mandatory speed limiters on all new cars was approved by the European Parliament in 2019, and they're now coming into force

What do you lot think of this. I just thought it would be funny if anyone with a new A45 or A35 turned up at the Nurburgring ready for your laps and the last speed limit sign was the 20 km/hour in the car park. Might take a while 😂

 

It’s not a good idea in my view. To overtake safely you need more in the tank than just the maximum speed limit ie will it be a progressive taper or a hard ceiling. Anyway I think it might be more safety negative than positive.

 

I agree. Sometimes you need to be able to get some extra speed to get you out of trouble for a short period of time

 

Hi guys
I have an A200 AMG line saloon NTG7
Anyone else noticed this speed in navigation screen
Mine always reads 60 is this right or should it change

 

I rarely go into that screen so haven’t noticed. But am sure it’s a depiction. Unlike the main screen with the speed limit on you can switch off.
