Tesla allows self-driving cars to break speed limit, again

Drivers of the electronic cars will again be able to set the self-driving features to break the speed limit, even on undivided roads

Tesla owners will be able to ask the robot that drives their car to break the speed limit, again, following a software update pushed out to users over the weekend.

The new software changes the way the autopilot function works on Tesla cars equipped with it. The brand covers a suite of advanced safety features, from lane assist, which keeps the car in the correct lane when driving on motorways, to adaptive cruise control, which allows the car to match speeds with the vehicle in front.
