Vauxhall has announced that the forthcoming Insignia will feature the option of a dual function camera capable of reading speed limit signs.
The system is claimed to be capable of reading signs from 100 metres in clear conditions, relaying speed limit information to a central display on the instrument panel.
Other manufacturers are developing similar systems, but GM is giving the new technology its debut. The forward-looking camera takes up to 30 shots a second, and will also be used to give a warning if the Insignia crosses lane markings without the indicator being activated.
The Insignia makes its debut at the London International Motor Show and will go on sale in November.
