Back in Northern MN in the 1960's, that there was a law in the town of Mt. Iron that limited the speed of automobiles in town to (as I recall) eight miles per hour. The "reasoning" behind that was that any speed faster than that would spook the horses which apparently made up the bulk of the road traffic of the time. It may have been enforced back in 1910 or so but it quickly became obsolete, just never had been taken off the books.

His rocket car is nothing but a tech demo, there is ZERO chance that car goes into production. It's more BS from the king of BS.
No insurance company would write a policy on something like that, and if they did, people would immediately start showing up in morgues with traumatic brain injuries and broken spines.
