Minimum Speed limit sign read as THE SPEED LIMIT (so wrong and dangerous)

Agreed. If it could the entire sign it would see minimum or Highway instead of seeing a pre-trained number and thinking "Speed Limit".
From what I have read, it's taught a bunch of images of signs so it's just recognizing them in whole; as you noted it's not actually reading them.

Kind of like if you were in a video game or not literate in a foreign language - you'd recognize the shapes of the signs, maybe just the numbers. You'd ignore numbers that weren't plausible or in colors or combinations you didn't recognize. (If you've played Zelda, well, you've been there - every game shows multiple transliterated alphabets on the signs. They actually say what they're supposed to!)

Well, that's what FSD is at. It can't pass the written test because it's not allowed to read.

?‍♀

At some point that restriction will go away and they'll teach it to read.

It blows and I wish they could fix it. In Florida it doesnt happen to me since the minimum speed is on the same sign as the regular speed limit. But in Georgia they have two signs and it just goes back and forth between 70 and 40.

Does this mean that if a diner posts a sign near an exit in the shape and size of a hwy sign that reads...

"Steak and Potato
25
per plate"

My truck may slow down to 25 mph?

It could be the issue that I have encountered. There is a section of the road that says Speed Limit 65 but just after that it says All Vehicles Towing 55. Well, car goes 55.

That might be illegal, but yes, it could. It's mistaken business signs before.
