> Also, being constantly warned that I was speeding in rural areas where the car missed a speed limit sign caused me to start ignoring the speeding alarm within a few hours of driving the car.

I rented a car in the UK about six weeks ago, and this was infuriating!

No, car, this is not a 30 zone. It's a 60 zone and I'm driving to the conditions (country road, decent visibility, slightly poor surface) at around 45. Whatever GPS data or image recognition techniques you're using, you're broken, shut up and leave me alone.

I did eventually find the button to turn it off but (as the article mentions) I had to do that every single journey.

I believe that in this case an imperfect system is worse than no system at all, because it adds to the distractions.
