Does FSD read speed limit signs anymore?

This is not new with 14.3.3, but FSD has stopped registering speed signs. They appear on the screen, but it ignores them. There’s a road I frequently drive that is 35 as I leave the village at the bottom of the mountain, then shifts to 40 then 50. The truck gets fixated on 35, and the only way to avoid pile up behind me is to use MadMax. Even then it is shy until someone passes me. This is the only time I miss the fine gradation of control we had with the right scroll wheel. Anyone know what’s going on with failure to register the speed signs?

Hasn't happened to me yet at least in Florida and Georgia it's registering the speeds and adjusting.

Same thing here. In my area the CT drives 5-10 mph under the speed limit even in hurry. Mad max might work, but sometimes I still have to give it a little gas manually to get it up to speed. Interestingly my MY works fine in regards to speed in my area.

I had this--again--happen yesterday using FSD 14.3.3. Seemed to coincide with low/limited connectivity of the Cybertruck to online world--but not always the case.

FSD ignored 40+ speed limit signs during the 120 mile drive. I eventually did a double scroll-wheel reset while driving and this resolved the issue.

Really bums me out how FSD is so temperamental with its inability to recognize speed limit signs.

I would say no based on my experience's, probably relies on Google Maps.

Yup. I just keep pressing the accelerator. It quits complaining after a while. I think this is more than just an inconvenience since to overcome it we are forced to disable emergency braking (holding down on the accel prevents the truck from braking should it need).

Also, my neighborhood is posted 15mph and there are lots of young kids about but CT wants to fly around at 25mph+

I have a similar situation but in my case, the road is listed as 25mph on the screen. There are no signs on the road. Turning off the 55mph road onto this road (it's 45 which means 60), I found the only way to make my CT go the right speed is to put it in Hurry and toe into the throttle a little until it gets to speed.

However, it has gotten better at making a speed on that road right. It still shows 25mph but now goes with traffic.

I believe they get some sort of "nav dataset" for speed data from somewhere. Unfortunately for me that dataset has the road outside my house (single traffic lane residential, cars parallel parked on both sides).. flagged as a 50mph road... (talk about mad max)

Mine doesn’t; cruising down the highway 75 limit, get to a construction zone and they put up their makeshift 55 signs, truck still wanna do 80.

Maybe because I am talking about a more rural setting. It has not been a problem in most settings, but it used to be fairly instantaneous….. would pass a sign, it would “see” the new speed and change it. I am wondering if it is taking its cue from something other than visual information.
..but I suppose this is better than the prior version that kept reading highway markers as speed limit signs.
yes. This is exactly what I mean. It was reading signs and mistaking route numbers (eg. route 15) for 15mph. That was annoying, but that was a very early version. Then it learned to differentiate route # from speed, likely by color. But it was “reading” the actual sign and continued to do so until recently. Now it seems to be taking information from some navigation data set. From where? What’s wrong with reading? Unless as someone pointed out, it’s a place with no signs. In any case, getting back some control for those edge case scenarios would be very helpful!

If it does it can not read, it LOVES to speed through construction and school zones.
Big flashing 35mph sign and FSD trucking along at60mph in standard mode

It’s the darn cyber truck schools! They’re learning nothing! What I’m finding is the roads I travel on that have not had changes in a long time the truck is very accurate with what is displayed on screen as the speed limit and what the truck abides by. However, in areas that are changing due to growth or newer construction the truck is definitely in its own cyber world. Makes me wonder about fully autonomous driving, these cases could not be acceptable.
I have always been a terrible parker, having to adjust to center in spot. In a busy restaurant on the water I let the truck park this week. I was pissed that it parked in one try and did not end up in the ocean! Glad at the same time it parked in one try! I’m going to have to trust it more with parking.
Speed limits could maybe more accurate if there was a way to feed real time information from your specific area.

Unfortunately it does for me. On some highways outside Chicago, there are 3 speed limit signs one right after the other:

Normal
Trucks
Busses

FSD changes the speed based on which it saw last. It does not recognize the sign adjacent to the speed limit sign that specifies who that sign is for. I wish it did use GPS
