I have a winding road near me with a speed limit of 35 mph, but 15 mph on certain curves as indicated by a speed limit sign. It ignores those speed limit signs and will attempt to make the turns at 35 mph resulting in it wildly swerving into the other lane and around a blind turn with maybe 30 feet of visibility. It has also attempted to do it so poorly that it would have driven across the lane and then over the cliff without immediate intervention.
Unsupported claims by a manufacturer that compulsively lies about the capabilities of their products except when directly called on it are the opposite of compelling evidence.
I'm talking about standard speed limit signs. You're talking about the signs that warn about sharp turns and advise maximum speeds. Yes it would be good if the software understood those signs, but that's a different issue.
Teslas definitely read speed limit signs. I've had mine correctly detect and follow speed limits in areas without connectivity or map data. It also follows speed limits on private drives (if there is a sign) and obeys temporary speed limit signs that have been put up in construction zones.
So they read some, but not all speed limit signs, and especially not the really important ones that inform you that you will be going dangerously fast if you do not read and follow them. That is criminally unacceptable.
Waymo. Cruise. And I do not see how the presence or absence of features in other products has any bearing on the lacking safety characteristics of FSD.
Frankly, attempting to deflect by arguing that it is okay to release a defective safety critical product to unsuspecting consumers just because nobody else is willing to offer a similar product because they have some moral integrity is a stance that makes the executives at Ford presiding over the Pinto look like angels in comparison. All the Ford executives did was cover it up to avoid having to pay to fix it. At least they did not intentionally release a known defective and dangerous product just to recognize some revenue.
Neither of those companies have software that reads those signs and use them to choose cornering speeds. They both use high resolution 3D maps from previous lidar scans of the road.
