I mean they obviously aren't doing this with the intention of having people actually take advantage of this speed on the road. The whole point is to build a vehicle which can go these kinds of speeds with the added constraint that you must be able to drive it on the road. Not everything people do or create has to be for purely practical purposes, that would be boring.
