1. A system for monitoring a speed of a vehicle driven by a driver, comprising:
an imaging system onboard the vehicle and configured to provide image data based on current driving conditions and a current road type on which the vehicle is traveling; a controller configured to:
analyze the image data and to generate a speed threshold;modify the speed threshold based on detection from the image data that a low visibility condition is present and the current road type on which the vehicle is traveling has changed, wherein the low visibility condition comprises at least one of a rain condition, a snow condition, and a fog condition, and wherein modification of the speed threshold further comprises determining the current road type is at least one of a motorway, a country road, and a city street; andcompare the speed threshold with a current driving speed of the vehicle; and a rearview mirror assembly having a display system, the display system displaying at least one of a notification and a recommendation to the driver if the current driving speed exceeds the speed threshold.
