Answer 1

Montana has a speed limit of 80, they won’t make cars just for Montana. There are also time that for your own safety you need to accelerate faster than the speed limit to clear a bad situation. When it comes down to it people need to, and want to, have control over their safety and messing with that control is not a good idea if we aren’t full self-driving car mode.
