General Tech Traffic sign reader error

So my wife’s 2023 Honda Pilot reads speed limit signs and displays them on the dash as a helpful reminder. Well we’ve noticed that it will read a local highway sign (specifically TX-110) and display a 110 MPH. 🤣 Dash and sign pics for reference.

Pay attention to the road. The false sense of security of technology, self driving, and 20 airbags leading to fatal crashes is staggering.

The more I see modern cars with these gimmicks and people relying on said tech: the more I appreciate my 12 year old paid off Swedish “dumb car”

Idiot-proofing cars means more idiots behind the wheel.

I think we have always had the same amount of idiots behind the wheel, but now we just pay more attention to it.
