I knew another guy who used to make regular trips to Saskatoon, if he left early morning (like 3-4am) it took him 4 hours to get there. This is going on all the time by slow responding humans. I think 150 on the highway in a car with response times many thousands (millions?) times better than humans would be quite reasonable.

I don't think those kinds of speeds will be safe until human-controlled vehicles are eliminated from the roads. Before then, it won't matter how good self-driving cars are; humans are too unpredictable.
