I love my google free car 🥰
“Google-free”, saying “Google free” makes it sound like it’s a free car from Google
I’d argue “free Google car” sounds like it’s a free car from Google
I’m only trying to save the hyphen, and I’m not wrong but 🤷
No ur wrung, schuld be ashaemd
*degoogled cars
Sounds like Google was present and now isn’t anymore.
Googless?
They doo noothing!
Gimme more dataah!
Cars registered in the U.S. after '24 have to include this :-( Although it doesn’t say they have to “announce it” like the Volvo in the article does.
It won’t matter because everyone who lives near me drives under the speed limit anyway
My 9 year old car has it as one of the options to show in the heads up display. It’s pretty convenient. But I can switch to something else or turn it off if I don’t want it. As long as it stays that way, there’s no need for frowny faces yet.
I don’t know… needing google for a 90% accurate speed limit indicator isn’t great. I suppose this has more to do with paving the way fully self driving cars. I just hope whenever that finally arrives we can get a better target freeway speed than 45 mph average :-)
I don’t know how the Google thing works, but I disconnect the cellular antenna before driving a car off the lot, and the speed thing still works for me.
Yeah, I’m a hero in my own mind too ;-)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ISA isn’t exactly a new feat; many vehicles have had the ability to reproduce speed limit signs for the driver for years.
It generally works by vehicles using various visual systems to pick up on posted speed limit signs and often combines that with built-in navigation map data.
“You need to know things about the road network that you cannot see to know how fast you can drive everywhere,” VP and GM of Google Geo Automotive Jørgen Behrens tells The Verge.
The first is HD maps that include lane and localization object data to build up autonomous driving systems.
And the third is the ISA map, which provides accurate and up-to-date speed limit data that helped the Volvo EX30 pass certification with the EU.
Self-driving tech company Mobileye has also built an EU GSR-passing Intelligent Speed Assist that could work with other vehicles.
