Yes, the intention is to use a camera/gps based “intelligent” recognition system, very dangerous as they misread often, certainly in the S-Max it often picked up other roads or GPS errors, setting a 40 mph limit on a 70mph road & missing changes in speed, sometimes in roadworks it would correctly say 30mph, but then not revert back to 70 at the end – for over 60 miles! That would be a royal pain in the arse if the system could not be switched off – and hardly a safe situation.
Speaking of which, the plan is to allow it to be switched off initially before moving to permanently on a few years later.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
