And what happens WHEN, not IF, the data is wrong for any particular road?

It reads road signs, not maps.

“Ford says that the newest edition of its S-Max car has “a new technology that scans traffic signs and adjusts the throttle”
The fun begins when some vandal changes the signs to read 100 mph.

Don’t like the idea. I don’t need to be driving an airbus.
And I called Ford to let them know I didn’t like the idea and I won’t be buying a car with this in it.

This is a scary trend. I like me some moderate speeding. I’ve noticed something though. How many times have you passed someone going slow on the highway, then they pull up next to you on the off ramp?

I see a lot of passing in its future...and a lot of accidents.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
How does it know the speed limit? I have a GPS that shows what it ‘thinks’ are the speed limits but it’s routinely off from the actual posted limits.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
So much for passing in traffic, or keeping up with folks driving older cars during rush hour (being 15 mph slower than everyone else on the freeway is plenty dangerous)

I can see the attorney’s circling this car, jaws slack and salivating.

That’s gonna get people killed around Atlanta, where the posted speed limit may be 55 or 65 but flow of traffic is 80+.

This WILL cause accidents.
People are driving VERY aggressively these days, and they're usually on various electronic devices while they're driving, also.
Speed differential is what causes a lot of accidents.

If you read the article, you learn that it reads road signs.

To: E. Pluribus Unum
This is Ford.
But the Govt. would like Someone, Sometime, Somewhere to automatically obey the laws.
Note however, that we can’t. There are too many laws, and they contradict themselves. So any ‘automatic’ law following will result in a tailspin and crash, like a dog chasing its tail.
