    That would be cars themselves. 70mph is way too fast for a car to travel. It might be a decent speed for a train because trains are on a controlled fixed path where cars and pedestrians can only cross in front of them at controlled crossings. Highways are as controlled as a carnival bumper cars ride. 35mph seems about right for cars on the highway. Drivers also kill a lot of wildlife outside the cities.
