I've noticed that, too.
The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I'd call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.
Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.
Google maps knows the speed limit of most roads, why can't that be used?

Looking forward to the headlines: "Tesla Robotaxi passengers need medical attention after Robotaxi hits speed bump at 70mph"
On the plus side these cars aren’t going to last long driving like this. They’re heavy too so speed plumps affect them even more harshly.

What a moment for Musk to show true leadership.
He would sooner put his own son in the path. He has backups for a reason.

Because the "Google thought so" approach is legally problematic.

It's almost as if we need a nationwide GPS driven speed limit detection system, rather than relying on some crappy cameras.
That way manual drivers can be warned if they're exceeding the limit as well.
Even nationwide GPS speed detection isn't flawless. What if an accident happens or for road works, then a temporary speed reduction can be applied. The autonomous driving system must be able to detect those situations and handle them gracefully. But also coming out of that temporary speed restricted zone. What if the car doesn't detect the end of the zone? Then the autonomous vehicle can drive dangerously slow until the next sign.

Seems like it would be jail time if you get caught. Or serious prison time if it causes a fatal accident.
Well yeah obviously

You could certainly have both systems in place, with it always picking the lowest.
But you do want to avoid daft things, like seeing a parked lorry with "I'm speed to limited to 50" written on it, with the 50 in a red circle, and the car goes "50? Brilliant!" and zooms off past a school.

Ah, that makes sense.

Not super reliable, one road near me is 25mph and google says it's 65mph.

Oh, well that answered that question. Get your shit together tech bros
