A computer-implemented method is disclosed for controlling a speed of a vehicle. The method comprises acquiring information from a plurality of vehicle sensors, wherein the acquired information comprises image information acquired from one or more visual sensors, wherein the image information includes a driver of the vehicle. The method further comprises using one or more computer processors to perform image processing on the image information. The method further comprises dynamically determining an upper speed limit for the vehicle using the acquired information, wherein the upper speed limit is based in part on the image processing. The method further comprises receiving an acceleration input from a vehicle inceptor, and responsive to determining that application of the acceleration input would cause the speed of the vehicle to exceed the upper speed limit, transmitting a control signal to a vehicle actuator to avoid exceeding the upper speed limit.
