I would imagine that it would go to 999 since its a 3 digit display. This is just a guess.

It will go to any speed you get the car to go. The computer doesn't stop calculating speed just because the needle is buried.

Morpheus: Unfortunately no one can be told how high your HUD speed indicator will go, you have to see it for yourself.

It did go to "0" when it hit 310kph

BTW 310Kph = 192MPH

It will indeed go up as fast as you can go. The analog speedometer does the same thing, you just run our of surface area for it to sweep over.

For example...the needle will sweep past the end of the speedometer if you get that fast and the HUD will do the same...it just doesn't have restrictions (up until 999 at least).

The magic number is 88 if you want to see something happen.

I got a ticket for going 1,000 mph, but the stoopid HUD was stalled out at 998.

I'm definitely not saying the car will go 999, just the display.
OP was not asking for the top speed of the car.


I like your B.S. Meter, that's awesome!

The great thing about autonomous cars is we can bully them. They will have to be programmed to yield, no playing chicken or road rage allowed in autonomous cars! Out of my way you POS!

Great! No more having to clean all those Prius' and Fits out of my grille. Where was that video taken? I don't know of anywhere where the left lane would be that open except maybe Germany.
