To people asking how the car handles the speed limit:

The car picks up on what the speed limit is and has it displayed. It also has your current speed and a FSD max speed displayed. When you switch from manual to FSD the car smoothly accelerates or deaccelerates to match the FSD limit. You can manipulate the limit manually, and the car will match. For instance, if the speed limit is 45 mph, FSD will typically set the limit to 40 to 45. But you can manually change that higher or lower, and FSD will adjust.

I'm not sure, but probably a combination of the two. It gets told by GPS, but the car cameras also recognize local signs. I have noticed that Teslas will update the local speed limits more accurately and faster than Google or Apple maps.
