Abstract

A system for overriding a vehicle speed limit setting via accelerator pedal override is disclosed, comprising a vehicle including steering, an accelerator pedal, brakes, a processor, and memory, and a vehicle speed limit override module coupled to the processor and configured to override the speed limit setting by calculating an override threshold based on the set speed limit and accounting for variable vehicle weight, road grade or other unknown loads.
