I wonder if mad max mode is different for Australian cars. All it does here is pass other cars on multi lane roads even if they're only going a tiny bit slower than you. The other settings are more tolerant of slowing down. Mad max is the least tolerant of three TACC settings.

It still stops at any intersection, including green lights unless you authorise it or it sees several other cars going through. It always stops at stop or give way signs.

Speed settings: if you activate self steering you can't go more than 10km/h over the speed limit as the car currently believes it to be (mine reads a temporary 80 sign as 30, and an end of road works 100 sign half in a ditch as 60). With self steering off you can set whatever speed. It flashes the speed at you if you select a speed higher than its idea of the limit.

My speed is set to +2km/h as that's the speedometer error, so in an 80 zone it defaults to 82

They actually got rid of mad max (at least in USA). The three options are chill, standard, and hurry now.
