Passenger elevators in tall buildings can automatically be controlled up to about 22miles per hour, with automatic deceleration at stops, etc. These are passenger elevators. Far higher velocities ( up to maybe 40 or 50 miles per hour) may be had in mining personnel cage elevators for mine workers at deep levels - for example in South Africa. These are working appliances and not luxury devices- so the ride can be much rougher than say Rockefeller Center. potential for accidents increases with velocity as should be obvious.
