My commute takes me over the Bay Bridge from East Bay to San Francisco. This morning, just before going through the toll section I happened to glance down at my dash and noticed the Speed Limit sign said 100! As soon as I passed through, the sensor must have detected a sign for 25 and the readout changed on my dash.
Has anyone noticed an error like this? It's a bit alarming as some of us were assuming in another thread that the speed limit detection is part of Honda's endgame of self-driving vehicles that can factor in posted speed limits. A reading of 100 mph entering a gridlocked toll area is a serious error, not to mention that there is no such speed limit anywhere in the world that I'm aware of. Drivers routinely exceed 100 mph on the Autobahn, but the posted limit is 80 mph I believe.
Anyway, if Honda's speed limit sensor is making this error, it is all the more reason to not display speed limit in the dash and certainly not display it so prominently. I'm still struggling to see how fast I'm going in the needle speedometer and instantly know the speed limit readout, which is information I really don't need. And after seeing this error I'm questioning why the car needs such information.
The toll lane I use is called Fastrack and features its own sensor system that knows to charge each vehicle owner the toll. Is it possible the sensors for the bridge and for the car's reading of the speed limit are causing issues with each other?
