In a car, the speedometer measured Instantaneous speed. This comes from the assumption that the car does not slow down and speed up fast enough for the speedometer to be able to give an average of the changing speed.

-- It can't show average speed, because it doesn't know anything about
what your speed was at any time in the past, before this moment.
-- It can't show velocity, because it doesn't know anything about
the direction you're going.
