VW Id4 speed limiter - Help!!!

26 replies

Id4speed · 22/11/2023 11:23

Hey all,

I have an VW id4 and all I want it to do is to adjust automatically the max allowable speed limit I should not go above.

I don’t want the car to accelerate my speed to match the max allowable speed limit, like a cruise system would do.

All I want is to refrain me from going over the limit! i.e if the limit is 50mph the car should not let me go above 50 but will also let me go with 30 if this is what I prefer.

I live in a rural area where some roads are 20mph, others 30mph, others 40mph and others 50mph.

It’s very easy to go exceed the allowable speed and I need some help!

Can ID4 do it for me?

I don’t want to set myself the speed limit every 5mins depending where I drive, I want the car to use the road signs and adjust it automatically.

AIBU - ID4 can’t do it
AINBU - ID4 can do it

If AINBU please help me to set it up!!!

I can't imagine this technology is found in any cars. It's certainly possible for the companies to implement it, but it would be a massive safety hazard (that one time you need to speed up to avoid an accident and the car won't do it...).

It would also no doubt lead to endless litigation from people who were fined for speeding in areas where the car had the wrong limit.

Lots of cars do have limiters which you can set yourself, but it won't automatically adjust.
