Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs

I was wondering what happened. I knew they used to be able to actually read the signs, but now its all a database that can be quite wrong. I think the DB is nice to have, since signs can be few and far between, but would really like to see it back to reading signs.

I don't understand how that could possibly stand up as a patent. It shouldn't pass the obviousness test. Reading a sign is a super obvious thing to do. But you would still have to spend millions fighting it in court. Which is insane.

I don't follow this discussion. My Tesla reads speed signs fine, and always has?

What model do you have? The 3 definitely doesn't read speed limit signs. Or at least doesn't use the information if it does read them. It will drive right past a sign that says 25MPH and still say the limit is 35MPH. Or drive past a 45MPH and say its 35MPH. Things like that. And there is no way to even report it being wrong, that I have been able to find.
