A system for overriding a vehicle speed limit setting via accelerator pedal override is disclosed, comprising a vehicle including steering, an accelerator pedal, brakes, a processor, and memory, and a vehicle speed limit override module coupled to the processor and configured to override the speed limit setting by calculating an accelerator pedal override threshold ΘPEDAL@PO based on the set speed limit and accounting for variable vehicle weight, road grade or other unknown loads. Accelerator pedal positions ΘPEDAL may be associated with levels of initiation of override. The system may provide feedback to a driver to indicate that pedal override has occurred, where the feedback may be an acceleration offset from a current acceleration so that the driver can feel the triggering of override. A system is also provided where the override module is configured to rescale a pedal override position to 50% of a total available rescaled pedal travel (Fig.6, ΘSCALED_PEDAL@PO) after initiation of pedal override of the speed limit setting to compensate pedal travel range.
