Under the new rules, cars will also be fitted with compulsory data recorders, or "black boxes".

Unless:
a) The technology is seriously improved and road signs/placing made much more consistent
b) There's no braking, lots of warning and an easy "instant override" facility (NOT stamping on the accelerator!)
c) A mechanism to easily say to the car system "you've got it wrong"
d) An effective mechanism for reporting and RAPIDLY correcting erroneous, damaged, dirty, hidden, confusing or misleading road signs
I can see this creating a lot of mayhem.
My non-Audi is fitted with the latest recognition systems which are very good (and only advisory) BUT regularly get it wrong nonetheless, e.g.
- Joining a normal (30mph for example) road from a "private" (e.g. school) access road with a 15mph or 20mph limit, the car does not recognise the change
- Passing a side road, especially one at an angle, the side road limit is recognised, this happens inevitably on a 50mph A-road near my house where the car recognises a 30mph sign on a side road.
- there are plenty of other examples, those are just the ones that spring immediately to mind
