Further proving that "self driving" is approximately as hard as AGI, and is nowhere near as "close" as everyone thinks to think it is. A human would have context and common sense and thus know that a residential street will simply not ever have an 85 mph speed limit.
And yes, you could special case this case in the code, but there are hundreds of cases where "common sense" is used in driving, and you will never teach your NNs all of it.
Prediction: no actual "self driving" (to a point where driver can legally be asleep) on public streets till > 10 years from now
