Whats the point ?

Should there be. The point is that someone is making the engineering effort to do such a thing. Something that isn't being done to impress investors etc, being done for the challenge.

There doesn't have to be a point.....this is how we advanced from walking to flying because some people decided to have a go.

Will this result in us having high speed cars, no....will it inspire a new generation of adventurers and engineers? Hopefully....
