I just got a speeding ticket in FSD Hurry Mode for 9 miles over.

I too wish FSD had a setting where you could set the upper speed with a click of a button when you’re on self driving in any mode. This is three points on my license..

Sloth seems to hold to the speed limit, assuming the car is showing the correct limit.

I have had FSD speed on all profiles. Whoever is designing FSD behavior clearly favors speeding, and passing.

If you find it speeding on standard, chill, or sloth I have been pretty successful with deactivating, then reactivating once I hit the exact speed I want. It usually get the memo on the first try.

FSD has a specific context aware speed setting algorithm that prioritizes safety above all; since there are situations in which going the 'textbook' speed limit does actually pose more of a danger than exceeding a sometimes arbitrary number.

It's funny, I can never predict what Hurry will do. It had been trying to do 9-10 mph over on arterial sufrace suburban streets. I would roll down to Standard to bring it down to legal speed, especially since the cities around here now have been placing photoradar boxes intermittently at differing locations. Tricky. So I got in the habit of only being on Hurry on freeways, but I forgot a couple times on surface streets with the photo boxes, but noticed Hurry now reduces to set street limit now in those places. Is it learning from my changing of modes on recognized routes? Hurry still wants to do 10+ over on freeways, but on surface now it's sedate. Been that way for a few weeks now. Mad Max is still hilarious and exhilarating. Standard is sort of the base "behaving" mode still. Chill is for 25mph residential streets for me. Never use Sloth.

For me, supervised FSD has transitioned from driving behaviors to managing speed behaviors while on FSD.

Yes, I do something like that all the time, but it sucks that FSD seems to want us to get speeding tickets. I do not exceed the speed limit very often, so I am pretty sensitive to this behavior. I'd really like Tesla to return to a setting that allows us to enforce the upper end speed, and I'd really like for Tesla to get the posted speed limit (in all cases, including temporary and construction speeds) right.

If they have an algorithm it certainly doesn't prioritize safety above anything. In my experience it only prioritizes getting to the destination in as little time as possible and everything else is secondary at best.

So you are saying Tesla is designing FSD to purposefully nullify their top priority? that doesn't make sense.

Tesla moved on from allowing us to set specific speed limits because that type of control doesn't help them train and perfect the context around why people choose to go faster or slower than the speed limit in certain circumstances.

We take for granted how easy it is for us to naturally understand contextual clues on how to behave in the world around us. For a machine, it's obviously a very difficult problem to solve and we are just now starting to enter the "march of 9's" on this specific issue.

I do miss the ability to set an upper speed limit on FSD. That being said I drive 9 over as a rule all the time except school zones, construction, unsafe conditions, etc. Sometimes I find the FSD going 15 over on standard and other times it doesn't keep up with traffic.

yep, it is indeed not a very consistent experience. I agree with a few others who have mentioned this before, but I think we will eventually see speed limits disappear for AVs all together; their context aware speeds should satisfy being able to ignore the arbitrary number set by the state D.O.T. because the data proves it is safe.

probably more than 5 years away from that, however.

The only speed profile that will maintain a speed is Sloth. It will NOT go above what it thinks is the posted speed limit. This is great right outside my work building as the work police require very strict speed limit adherence. I see people pulled over almost daily.

But that's just my experience with Sloth mode. All other modes, even when I roll them back to slow down (74 in a 55 is a bit much...), they'll creep back up. I understand keeping up with traffic but last week, I would be traveling to work in the morning. By morning, I mean I leave the house at 0330. Anyway, I don't mind poking along at the speed limit or maybe a bit over. But I do not want to be meeting Bambi's mom at 70 mph. So, a more leisurely pace is warranted. There is almost no traffic at that time of the morning.

For some reason, if a car passes me (and that rarely happens at that time), FSD seems to think "Hey, we've been doing 60 for the past 20 minutes without intervention and a car is passing. I'll bet my dude wants to speed up to 67 while this other car attempts to overtake us."

Makes me feel like an ass. "Na-Na. You... Ca... n't... pass... me"

Contextual speed setting makes sense. Don't want to be going 55 if everyone else is going 70. But I don't need to match the speed of the only other car on the road. Let him meet Bambi's mom. I opt out of that meeting.

Am I imagining things or didn't FSD 12 or 13 have a % offset on the speed? I thought I recall having 10% set at one time and liking it. 6 over in a 55, 7 over in a 70. Kinda made sense to me.

Yep. I liked that system a lot. 10% was my “go to”. Small town cops have zero sense of humor.

Damn, in FL? People seem to drive 15mph over and don't get pulled over.

Not related, but a few years back I was driving through Wisconsin and was pulled over.
Cop - do you know why I pulled you over?
Me - well I guess I set my cruise control too high if I was speeding
Cop - What was it set at?
Me - 74
Cop - Speed limit is 65
Me - ok......

Luckily he let me off. This was at around 4:30 am, so I'm guessing he was thinking I might have been out late, when really I was up super early to continue my travels.
