Speed limits are set so low that it's actively unsafe to adhere to them in many places. It's not unreasonable for self-driving systems to acknowledge that... in fact, it's more or less mandatory.
Give me a break. This is classic prisoners dilemma, where it's better for everyone to speed. However the ideal outcome is for everyone to follow the speed limits. If law enforcement would prioritize enforcing this law we could have full compliance. There's no problem with 55 on the interstate. The problem is unskilled or otherwise distracted drivers, which can also be observed at 55, and are much more fatal at 70+.
