Tesla forces hard speed limits on its Autopilot self-driving system |
December 24, 2016
A general rule of the road is that as long as you only go about 5 miles over the speed limit there’s little chance you’ll end up getting a speeding ticket.

But that’s ending, as Electrek recently discovered.
Tesla confirmed that it's rolling out an update to stop autopilot from exceeding the speed limit.

Autopilot has a hard upper speed limit of 90 mph. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
