Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

Also with a critical mass adoption of self-driving cars the speed limit could be increased.

Only if the bicycle paths are separated from the road by a wall.

My city’s solution to that is just to not have bike paths and tell people to “share the road” on 45 MPH streets.
