Aggressive Speeding in Mad Max Mode: Is It Necessary?
One of the most controversial aspects of the update involves Mad Max mode pushing the vehicle to 71 mph in a 55 mph zone on rural roads at night, with minimal visibility and high deer activity. Chris finds this excessive and potentially unsafe, especially since the profile was artificially selected by the driver.
He questions whether the time saved by speeding significantly offsets the safety risks and doubts the practicality of such aggressive driving profiles. The math, he argues, suggests that driving 20 mph over the limit only shaves precious minutes off travel time for long distances, which is not worth risking safety in urban or densely populated environments.
