Speed sign recognition: the good, the bad and the tricky 

Excellent video, good luck with the install!

Steven good luck for tomorrow , being pushing over here in UK to get our HW3 fitted but no luck .

It doesn't recognize on highways as far as I know! Thx for the video 👌✌️

Very good video Steve! 😊

Good luck tomorrow!

I am happy with the current state which is of course far from perfect but the system recognizes most of it which will be a great tool in the small village centers where the database mostly shows wrong max. speeds. Thanks Steven, always love your channel.

Can't wait, just got my MCU and FSD computer upgrades scheduled for Oct. 1st for my AP2 car (FINALLY!). Teslas pace of innovation seems to accelerate. Looking forward to hear of your experience with the upgrades!

Similar results her in NL with speed signs and matrix lights. Nice informative video as always. I thought that sign recognition would immediately be better than the super crappy GPS data but I was wrong. It is reaching the point that I want to disable it because it is essential that in interprets all signs that define speed limits.

Sign recognition...a sign of the times!😏

9:25 I believe that the camera may be confused by the difference in size between both signs. Because the bottom sign is smaller, it may place it a bit farther away to match the surroundings, so it probably thinks the signs are not on the exact same position but just really close to one another (you can also somewhat see it on the visualization)

The mix up with the left signs for another road, and the signs with limitations for trucks, are bit disappointing. It doesn't too hard to make it work properly. Hope to see future updates on this soon. Great video.

Steven, drive to the Netherlands, there you have on the highway two signs, one says 130, below it, another sign with 100 (and remark between 6:00 & 19:00); my EV does handle that perfectly, shows both in the display (and in head-up as well) and adapts cruise control speed accordingly; nice challenge for you with the Tesla ... what will it do?

Nice Test😎🥳

It is funny. The car has a sense of humor I guess. 150? nope. Car is smart to know that is probably tempered sign. Because of impossibility of the limit, and the 1 being different style to the rest of sign. The recognition that a sketchy 80 is actually 30, is very impressive test.

Glad to hear that you're finally getting HW3 and MCU2. We can say many things about Tesla, but at the end of the day they are still nice people and so far the only company, that provides retrofits. Regarding the dynamic speed signs: There are actually two things to hat. In your test, the speed signs were above the road. I've noticed, that speed signs above the road are never detected, regardless if they are dynamic or not. Dynamic speed signs were also not detected in they were on the side of the road. The speed limits that are displayed are still a mixture between recognisition and map data. For example: Let's say a road has a limit of 50 and then 60. If the suddenly the length of the 50 zone is increased, Tesla will display the speed limit of 60, getting the data from the map data. This is a tricky thing and leads to the question, what is a more reliable source of information. Nevertheless I have to say, that Teslas implementation is already very good. Of course it needs some improvement, but in general im satisfied.

Too bad that you didn’t drive in the middle of the A12 on that very first traffic light, I wonder how the technicians at Tesla would have reacted.

When you don't have FSD, but HW3, will it also stop for a red light? I hear people saying it does, but I got the update yesterday and it doesn't do anything when it's red or green (apart from showing them)

I think that this 'viable sign' detection is what sets Tesla's detection apart from Mobileye's; instead of seeing a sign and putting a number on it Tesla may see a SIGN WITH 50 or SIGN WITH 60, etc., so there's no way to make custom speed limits.

Ma Model 3 SR+ is from 07/2019. So I guess I'm one of the last Model 3s with HW 2.5. Which means I will be one of the last ones to get the Upgrade to HW 3. [sigh]

5:05 I do not think that the car even saw that sign. That fake 80-sign: This would not trick a human since no human with their brain working properly would think that that road is an 80-road. Those digital overhead signs: Our Volvo V90 handles them here in Sweden, since we bought the car in 2017. That really impressed me! One thing i have noticed even on other videos is that the car always seems to break the speed limit rule by applying the new speed BEFORE the sign. That is of course okay if you go Down to a lower speed but not if you go Up. In our Volvo i have to pass the sign so it does not switch until i have passed it, somewhere along behind half the car length.
