Speed cameras on your Tesla screen, legally
Rules differ by country: some allow precise camera locations, others only danger zones. The data itself is public and community-maintained, and here is how iCar turns it into an announcement on the car screen.
What the data is
OpenStreetMap catalogs fixed enforcement equipment, maintained by contributors worldwide. It is the same class of data that powers the alerts millions of drivers use daily; coverage and precision vary by country.
Where the law restricts precise locations (France is the best-known case), applications announce zones instead of points. iCar follows the rules of the road you drive on.
What it looks like on the car screen
iCar announces a control AHEAD of you, on your road, with the enforced speed when known: a banner at the top of the screen, an 800-meter heads-up, nothing to touch. The announcement clears once the zone is behind you.
On the map, zones appear as markers. The source refreshes weekly; about a third of zones carry a speed, and a zone without one is still announced.
Why the car screen beats the phone
A mounted phone works too, but the fifteen-inch screen is already in front of you, at the right distance, on the right axis. No mount, no cable, no second glowing screen: the alert lives where the map and weather already are.
This feature is part of the iCar subscription, together with the Supercharger map at your battery's real range and the charging log.
