What's wrong with speeding? People generally drive at a speed such that they're taking an appropriate level of risk. The speed limits usually set these risk limits too low. Moreover, the job of google's ETA is to be accurate for the most number of people. If you're in the minority, then too bad.
Moreover, I'm not sure how speeding makes you an asshole.

By speeding, you increase the risk of death/injury of other people, you increase their stress level and you also increase road noise. Moreover, you unilaterally (and self-servingly) decide that the norms established by authorities are stupid and that you know better. This all sounds like a description of an asshole to me.
So THAT's why the ETA given is always too short! If it's based on how often a typical driver makes it, and typical driver is a speeding asshole, then no wonder that the estimates are unrealistic for someone who actually drives under the speed limit. It's a shame that Google is actually normalizing assholiness.
