The average movement speed of a car over a trip is ~22 mph anyway.
The gains from coordinated robotic driving could very well be enough to actually reduce speed limits by a significant value, which not only reduces overall fatalities (due to laws of physics), but also makes the equation better for the robotic cars, which might convince more people to switch, leading to a positive feedback loop.

That's an optimistic scenario, though.
