Hello,
there is quite a difference:

speed(currentspeed - 10):
slow down as fast as possible to reach currentspeed - 10. This can be
instant depending on deceleration capability and speed mode.
speed(-1) will indeed cause the vehicle to drive as fast as safely possible
again.

slowdown(currentspeed -10,10):
The vehicle will slow down from the current speed to currentspeed - 10 over
the course of 10 seconds. I noticed that the description in the wiki was
misleading. It is fixed now:
http://sumo-sim.org/wiki/TraCI/Change_Vehicle_State

I can confirm that that both commands should not induce collisions using
the default speed mode (if you notice collisions please let us know).

regards,
Jakob



after 10s
speed(-1)
