Background -
I drive a 2018 Ciaz Petrol MT. Recently, I was on a 500 km drive from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, and had used the cruise control feature quite a times on the NH, especially on the Vadodara Ahmedabad Expressway(National Expressway-1).
Problem Statement -
I observed a huge difference in the actual speed while using the cruise control (here after, CC) and while verifying it with Google Maps (GPS, here after).
I had set the CC at 110, and just out of curiosity, tried to cross check the speed with GPS, which was showing actual speeds in between 95-100 kmph.
I also tried to measure my speed with a GSRTC’s Volvo, as I knew it’s speed being restricted at 95 kmph, and I somehow felt I took longer to overtake the Volvo (I’m at 110, Volvo at 90-95).

Albuquerque, New Mexico - Derrick Begay, 33, of Shiprock, New Mexico, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, was sentenced on February 10 in federal court to two years in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release for assault upon a federal officer involving physical contact.

Three organizations filed separate lawsuits Friday in an effort to stop UCSF from building a 2 million-square-foot hospital and academic facility expansion at its historic Parnassus campus.
The groups that filed lawsuits in Alameda Superior Court San Franciscans for Balanced and Livable Communities, the Parnassus Neighborhood Coalition and the Yerba Buena Neighborhood Consortium seek to overturn a decision by the University of California Board of Regents to allow the Parnassus expansion to go forward.
