Hmm, turns out Google cars are programmed to go over speed limits in certain situations. Quote from a Reuters article:

Google’s driverless car is programmed to stay within the speed limit, mostly. Research shows that sticking to the speed limit when other cars are going much faster actually can be dangerous, Dolgov says, so its autonomous car can go up to 10 mph (16 kph) above the speed limit when traffic conditions warrant.

I wonder how they decide over what warrants speeding.
