Combining dynamic cruise control and traffic sign recognition

[ptw]

I agree, anything that improves safety has got to be a good thing

I sent a suggeation to MG support to combine Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) systems and I got this reply:

Good afternoon,
Thank you for contacting MG customer service.
I am glad to hear that you are enjoying your new vehicle!
Thank you for the suggestion, I will pass it on to our team.

Kind regards,
Chelsea

Whether anything will happen remains to be seen

I think it would be a game changer for MG if the Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) systems worked together to automatically adjust speed in response to changing traffic signs. Integrating these two systems would significantly enhance driver convenience and safety, making it easier to stay within legal speed limits without manual adjustments.

Some premium car manufacturers have already started to introduce this type of feature, where Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts vehicle speed based on detected traffic signs. It would be a notable innovation for MG3 if this functionality were integrated, potentially setting a new standard in the affordable compact car segment.

I've sent this suggestion to MG, you never know, they might take it up and if should be possible to just do it through a software update. ?

My apologies to you but I hope they ignore it, for me if I don't want to drive I'll go back to bus thanks, there is too much already on the MG3, it'd be one more thing to turn off, okay if it stayed off but my idea of a car is to get in and go regardless of type not sit there going through menus turning stuff off every single time.

As for speed limits they have not got it right at all, I changed a setting the other day in Navigation it now tells me I'm above the speed limit in a very stern voice. I don't mind except the limit it thinks I'm above is the one I'm in so I just advise it of its mistake, as in Foxtrot Oscar.

No need to apologise, everyone should voice their own views. I don't want to have this permanently on but as an option. And I too don't like some of the settings, if took me a while to find out how to get rid of the very shouty stern voice to a more acceptable background ding. Fortunately it retained my settings rather than having to set it everytime I start up, like I have to with Eco mode and level 3 regen.

I find it starting in normal not Eco a bit odd to be honest, all Sport does is tighten the elastic to the pedals

 

[ptw]

I know in other posts a lot of owners just leave it in normal and regen 2 making no adjustments and they say they see little benefit, if any, in changing it. Time will tell for me as I have only had it for 6 weeks and only just gone over 400 miles, just quite a light user.

You can criticise the new safety standards and find them annoying, of course, because they have to be deactivated whenever possible.

Well, the drowsiness alert is one of these new standards for OUR safety, as is the system for starting the car with a breathalyser test, with which the MG3 is pre-equipped.

The drowsiness alert alone, is a major step towards road safety. We all probably can recall times if we care to admit, where we felt we were nodding off or couldn't remember part of a journey.

I don't remember most of my journey, no one told me there would be a quiz, I'm buggered if I know where I'm going half the time, the noise next to me always tells me I'm going the wrong way anyway.

I have the deluxe model that points out where I should have parked.

Ah yes, I got that, working on having it silenced.

Hi
I have just changed from a VW ID3 to a MG4 trophy. The VW has speed recognition within the cruise which works very well most of the time, however if you set the limit to 60mph and it sees a 40mph it slows down but when it sees the national speed limit sign it goes to 70mph, so not perfect. To counter this it keeps its speed limit info which you have switch off in the MG a big loss

I wish the had allowed CC as well as ACC
