If you read the article, these speed limiters allow what you're asking for.

According to the article, this won't put hard limits on your top speed. You can still speed if you need to.

True, but it's such a huge topic that I won't judge a person negatively if they don't know that same details I know by happenstance because I have a lot of lived experience.

It's a very important crop that more people should know about. Both now and in the past.

"that have seen"

That doesn't describe a typical American.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have known if I hadn't time in Central America. Should a team of journalists have that experience? Probably. But it takes a member of the team to know sugar cane.

What's the reason you knew it was cane? You recognized it by sight? You knew Puerto Rico grows it? I don't understand how you know know how to visually identify a crop from history class.

So some person (bot?) chimed in.

So rely on other people to put onto the internet what you don't even begin to comprehend. Then get it from there.

Ok, describe what you saw in words that makes it obvious that it's sugar cane as opposed to grass. Since you're so smart...

Yeah, my first impression was grass. Then about a second later, no that's sugar cane. That was during the setup before the commercial break as I recall. That only lasted a few seconds.

Honestly, what experience do you have that you recognized cane? It has to come from some experience that I don't think is typical in the USA...

Kinda wanted w Katie Wilson style victory... Down 14 in Q1, down 11 at the half, down 4 at Q3, then winning by 3.

To be fair, since not much sugar cane is grown here, I don't expect Americans to recognize it off the bat. I wasn't even 100% sure until the start where they showed a woman with a machete trimming it.

People don't recognize sugar cane. That's OK if you never grew up where they grow it. I grew up in WI so I recognize corn and soybeans. And I've been around, so I recognize sugar cane, tea, and rice as very common crops.

I lived in Latin America for a bit, so I recognized the sugar cane right off the bat. I'll give grace to those who didn't realize it was sugar cane. Like the NYT, paper of record.
