The fact that the car was able to illegally exceed the speed limit while in autonomous driving mode means it was never meant to be a safety features rather a convenience feature
A safety features would be like your DCT no allowing you to purposely exceed the mechanical rev limit of the S55

At the end of the day it's a stupid game and they won the ultimate stupid prize
Super off-topic but on S55 does DCT upshift at rev limit or bounce off the limiter?

Also this entire discussion is based on the presumption that the autonomous driving features were active which I believe to be an assumption that is based on insufficient evidence. It makes for better articles with more clicks/reads/revenue, but if I was stuck in the driver's seat of a car that's on fire I'd sure as hell try opening another door if I was able to move...
