If everyone is in autonomous vehicles, the speed limit can be greatly increased. I believe the article posted in the OP references vehicles on the interstate traveling at high rates of speed (120-150 mph), since there won't be dummies like you doing stupid shit on the highway.The flow of traffic goes at 5-10 mph over the speed limit
Will self driving cars be programmed to follow the posted speed limit?
If a majority of people used self driving cars, I think that it would lead to traffic moving more smoothly, so that even going the speed limit might tend to lessen trip times.
Doesn't matter
I don't want to drive at 65. Neither do most other drivers
