Feels like sooner or later they're just going to govern every car to the posted speed limit of the road it's driving on. The tech definitely exists, and there isn't really a nonemotional reason not to.

Um, driving someone to the hospital? That's a pretty non-emotional reason to speed

Speeding doesn't shorten travel time unless the distances are significant (hundreds of Kilometers). So speeding to a hospital is more likely to lead to a crash than save time; it's irrational and emotional.

Haven't you ever noticed that car you blew past pull up next to you at the red-light?

Fun fact, lots of people don't live in congested cities
