> The speed limiter device, called intelligent speed assistance, or ISA, uses GPS data and sign recognition cameras to detect speed limits where the car is travelling, and then will sound a warning and automatically slow down the vehicle if it is exceeding the limit.

My Volvo has sign recognition, and although it is quite good, it frequently gets it wrong. It will pick up signs on the back of lorries/buses, as well as signs for i.e. a neighborhood (5kmh) without subsequently picking up the fact that I have moved out of that area, and am now allowed 50kmh. If this erroneous behavior would translate to limited speed, I'd be extremely unhappy.
