@ChrisJohn, Where did I say it was the cars fault?

For the reason I've identified, and other issues posted in this thread, it's clear the whole sign recognition system is fundamentally flawed at the present time. With perhaps the potential to be dangerous under certain circumstances? Views?

There are certainly useful aids to the driver these days in cars but we must not start relying on them too much. I like sign recognition but it’s my responsibility to look for signs and drive accordingly. My last car had self-parking and I never used it as I didn’t want to be de-skilled.

Here in Wales the system shows it's limitations: It recognises signs such as School and No Overtaking. But not the same signs at the end of the section. All because here we have bilingual signs, Welsh first, so the end sign has DIWED above END which the system doesn't understand.
