We have an 80 kph sign about 6m after the autoweg sign (100kph), why they didn't combine them is anyone's guess. My detection system always misses it, and often there are speed checks. Fortunately I can disable sign recognition for the cruise control.

Wait does your cruise control automatically accelerate by default when it thinks it sees a sign..? That sounds terrifying! I've only seen systems which give you a prompt to switch speed which you can accept with a button

  • Mine did until I turned it off, and on an early software version it would do it at full acceleration of the car - and considering it has over 600 horsepower was really terrifying. It also slowed down violently once, misreading a sign on the motorway.

    • I've noticed this too! The Nissan's adaptive cruise control doesn't accelerate automatically after a sign, but when it does accelerate automatically, e.g because I accepted the prompt to change target speed or because the slow car in front changed lanes or took an exit, it accelerates so bloody quick. Way quicker than I would've if I'm just driving manually.
