It's more palatable to be moving at only 65mph or even 55mph if you're a passenger and don't have to pay attention, as opposed to being an active driver going 75-80mph to finish the task as soon as possible. And I doubt self driving cars will be programmed to speed and then slow down when they spot a cop, where human drivers are generally overspec'd enough to do that.
