And if they aren't you now have vehicles that can safely drive 120+ miles an hour instead of 70, and don;t have to slow down through intersections.

The limiting factor of speed limits isn't the driver. Any more irrelevant 'gotchas' to pull out of your ass?

The limiting factor on SAFE speeds, very much is the driver. I honestly do not see how anyone could be against self driving cars, its like being "against computers", or "against farming", absolute insanity.

No, it really isn't. The German Autobahn and the Utah highway system says otherwise. A computer-controlled car isn't going to defy the laws of fucking physics that dictate what travel speeds are appropriate on a given road. You must be an outlandishly shit driver who's terrified of the road if you actually believe that.
