> When ISA detects the car is over the limit, it may induce visual and audible warnings, as well as haptic feedback through the steering wheel or throttle pedal, or it may begin accelerating the vehicle if no action is taken.

I sure hope they mean decelerate...

Acceleration is just a change in speed as per the laws of motion [1]

I think Accelerating is technically correct. The vector can be positive or negative

Negative acceleration is still acceleration.

Refer to the brake as "the accelerator" and see how that goes for you.

How far it gets you depends very much on the observers frame of reference.

Gonna refer to everyone going -10KPH over the speed limit as "speeding"

Refer to it as the throttle, and avoid the confusion.
