Cars are built better than in the past, tires are better, suspensions are more advanced, cars can be controlled better at a higher speed. Also when they do crash they handle crashes better. Higher speed limits would be warranted (and I think there should be no national speed limits, leave it up to the states, I know technically the states passed the current limits but the feds bullied/bribed them in to it). Also speed limits really are not higher now, they are higher than when the feds pushed them down, but before that action many states had high speed limits, the recent increase is at most a return to what we had previously, and in many places less than the previous limit.
