> 1. Speed limit for the area/road I am in.

That one already exists, many manufacturers already provide 'intelligent speed' systems, which combine gps and traffic sign recognition camera info to determine the current speed limit in that stretch of road and display it on your dashboard.

Yeah I think Satnav answers most. I guess the biggest thing we are missing is Lidar hooked to Satnav

Partially...

- Satnav, is based on GPS which has a degree of error, it might place on a 4 lane road or a 2 lane road immediately parallel to it, with a drastically different speed limit.

- Satnav has no way of adapting to temporary lane closures or roadwork speed limits.

That's the reasoning for combining GPS with TSR camera data, in these 'intelligent speed' ADAS systems.

Waze is pretty good at this, presumably because the road/map data is crowdsourced
