He declined to say whether the hardware is capable of higher speed thresholds through an over-the-air update.

Ya I can definitely see they are ultra conservative and worried about law suits. Hence the low threshold. Thing is it’s a little ridiculous honestly. You trust the driver to use the system fully engaged up to 40 but not 70? look what is the difference?
I’ve used the super cruise in a Cadillac ct6 and it is awesome. No reason bmw can’t do the same in their 100k+ flagship.
I own a 16 platinum ct6 but no super cruise. Wasn’t introduced until my 18.
I would love for this to be able to be coded though.
