My 9 year old car has it as one of the options to show in the heads up display. It’s pretty convenient. But I can switch to something else or turn it off if I don’t want it. As long as it stays that way, there’s no need for frowny faces yet.
I don’t know… needing google for a 90% accurate speed limit indicator isn’t great. I suppose this has more to do with paving the way fully self driving cars. I just hope whenever that finally arrives we can get a better target freeway speed than 45 mph average :-)
I don’t know how the Google thing works, but I disconnect the cellular antenna before driving a car off the lot, and the speed thing still works for me.

Cars registered in the U.S. after '24 have to include this :-( Although it doesn’t say they have to “announce it” like the Volvo in the article does.

Yeah, I’m a hero in my own mind too ;-)
