I used to get a lot of tickets until I cruise control got reliable traffic detection. Now I have it on almost exclusively. The only places I get tickets now are usually places that the speed changes and I don't notice.

I would like to set my cruise control to just be "current speed limit". If these cars are going to start monitoring the speed limit to the degree of being able to tell if you're breaking the law, they better have such a setting. If they don't then it seems almost like some sort of entrapment.

blue cruise is amazing for that, though I'll note that there's a setting for how much above the speed limit you're comfortable with, so you could set it to 0, but you can also set it to 14 over limit and it'll cruise control quite well, turning and braking for you.

The one Tesla self-driving feature I want on my Subaru.

How do folks get so many speeding tickets in the first place? I’ve never gotten one in my life.

Might depend on where you live. Not all roads are created equal.

I'm thinking stuff like many posted speed limit changes within a short length, damaged or missing signs, non-obvious construction and school zones, road passes through varying types of neighborhood, speed limit unexpectedly low for the design, etc.

By far the most annoying to me are off ramp speed limits that are so unrealistically slow they'd probably cause rear-end collisions or pile ups if anyone actually tried to obey them.

Off ramp speed limits are designed for all vehicles and drivers. Boy racers with go faster stripes can probably just double the number.
