Absolutely! Once autonomous cars do arrive, you will no longer be able to go faster than the vehicle will allow!
Given that global positioning satellites track sat navs every move, know what the speed limits are, it isn't a large stretch of the imagination to see the Sat nav linked to throttle control surely.
If the limit was set to the true limits, it would allow flexibility through the gears, but only that far and no more. The logic of this would presumably be that since everyone is going at the same speed, you should have the same time to stop or avoid any trouble.
Break out the classic car/bike. Have you seen irobot?
