I thought it was just a brand name
Eos was also a greek goddess, the goddess of dawn. Canon also (apparently) chose EOS for its double meaning, that above, and the goddess. Being dawn, start of a new day (era), light from the dark, etc

If your car did travel at the speed of light I doubt you would care because your brain would be mushed into the side of the mountain 0.0000002 seconds after pressing the accelerator.
