Firstly, I didn't say it was at proof of concept stage, I said it would work at a proof of concept stage. Have you never had to do rapid prototypes for software to ensure your idea is workable before developing full field ready solutions? You know you still have the difficult work to do (all the special cases) but you've proven that the basic design is workable.

Secondly, my idea would would not network all cars together, just a small subset of cars near your current vehicle.

Thirdly, you make the "what if it fails" point but don't consider any solutions other than "limit at 30" or "limit at 70". There are myriad other options in such an example. You seem to be attempting to raise obstacles that exist in the case of any engineering project. Engineering is all about solving those problems and it is clearly within the capability of man to engineer a speed limiting system for cars.

With specific regard to your challenge, you are again imposing limits on the system that just don't exist for those looking to develop such a system. It is not a case of either or when it comes to choosing or developing a suitable technology. In your isolated case I could setup a roadblock at each speed limit change and have the limiter change performed manually. That solves all your problems of identifying the correct speed limit straight away. Sure, it's not automated, but it meets your criteria of allowing for lorries with scaffold poles and not affecting parallel roads. That's just one "technology" that could be used.

How about another system? Transponders in the road surface at limit changes with periodic phone home and limit updates via the mobile phone network? The vehicle reads the transponder in the road and sets its limiter accordingly. The road transponders send their ID and current limit periodicially confirming that they are operational. Should any transponder be inoperable, the transponder prior has its limit adjusted accordingly.

How about another? Each vehicle is fitted with a camera that reads road signs (standard positioning) in the same way speed cameras read number plates? The camera could also be used to estimate the speed of surrounding traffic and set the limiter accordingly?

There's so many ways it could be achieved if physically limiting people's speeds is seen to be the way to go.
