Never been stuck behind someone doing 45 in a 55? Really?

You don’t have to speed. It’s a choice. You shouldn’t make the choice in the passing lane, though.

I'm fairly certain "slower traffic keep right" is part of the expected flow.

Maybe the Waymo is technically speeding, but so is everyone else, because speed limits aren't magic, and if the de-facto limit ends up being 50 when the posted limit is 40 or 45, going slower creates extra conflict points for accidents.
