BMW for example, has tech that will read road siigns and adjust the cars speed accordingly. So if the road speed changes, the car will track along with it.

I saw it work on a trip to germany. Very interesting tech.

Just mentioning it. Not advocating it. this would be very expensive to implement on all models.
