I was really confused why this was news because I remembered trying mad max mode. It's fucking batshit how aggressively it merges on that mode. I turned it off immediately. Although the speeding thing isn't new, all the autopilot modes will let you set the speed to 15 over or more by default

    Part of me wonders if they sell your driving telemetry to your insurance company, and if those companies pay out more for data on worse offenders. If so, they're just letting you tie your own increased insurance rate noose by providing that option, for their own financial gain.
