Ok, but who pays the fine, or has their license revoked when a robotaxi drives over the speed limit to fit in with humans?


Speed limits are artificially low because they know drivers will not obey them.

Entirely false.

Speed limits are determined by dozens of factors, including traffic studies, noise studies, and other needs. There's an entire industry for this.

Go to a city council meeting sometime and you'll learn all about it.


If I wanted to learn about something a city council meeting would be the last place I would go to.


Yeah, far better to get your information on how your city council decides on speed limits by reading Reddit and other random internet commenters instead of original sources and those actually setting the speed limits.
