I bet most drivers plow through that area at 30mph (since it's 25mph limit) instead if driving as slow as 16.

Even people being all indignant on HN.

True,

But that's not people being rational. That's people being dumb and impatient -- most of us will admit we've done impatient things in a car.

But shouldn't an AV drive like we wish we would drive on our best behavior?
