Feels like sooner or later they're just going to govern every car to the posted speed limit of the road it's driving on. The tech definitely exists, and there isn't really a nonemotional reason not to.

Um, driving someone to the hospital? That's a pretty non-emotional reason to speed

Like most humans you are bad at calculating risk. Speeding on a trip to a hospital will likely only save you seconds. An ambulance that can avoid traffic and skip red lights is going to save significantly more time.

It will also cost significantly more money. Even in Canada.

Yeah, but not more than a life, or a car accident, or both.
