40 mph top speed on approved roads in 2 states only if a car is in front of you in the daytime is entirely useless.

It's specifically designed to navigate traffic congestion, which happens under 30 mph. It can keep up with the lane, deal with lane changes, honk if someone backs into you, let ambulances through, things like that. Not sure why the article presents it as generic driving.
