I sure hope they mean decelerate...

There is absolutely no reason any road car should be able to (consistently) drive faster than ~150km/h

There are valid reasons for exceeding the speed limit

They'll roll this back pretty quickly once it cuts into revenues

I think Accelerating is technically correct. The vector can be positive or negative

Negative acceleration is still acceleration.

But have you considered how much fun breaking the speed limit is?

So all cars will be susceptible to "phantom braking" due to a bug or worse? I really dislike this, and living in the third world I can already imagine fake road signs being used to decelerate and rob cars.

Acceleration is just a change in speed as per the laws of motion [1]
