Hi SM,
...and the best part is when one dies in a car accident - your family need not purchase a casket - they just need to grab a door handle on the side and lay you into the ground.
Conveniently you have avoided the INSURANCE costs on these ugly things - because the car SCREAMS "You're DEAD!"
if you get into an accident.
It's not better than nothing - because nothing won't put you in the middle of speeding traffic. And as an Autobahn driver - I can assure you these things will generate fatalities very quickly.
The SLOW lane of the Autobahn moves at about 85-90 mph unless you're passing a city where it drops to about 75-80. About 10 mph more than the VWVortex top speed.
In the fast lane if this thing veered into it accidentally and rear ended it would be thrown from the road like some projectile.
This thing scares me. It is just a glorified Gogomobile (a bit before your time but do some internet research and you will see that the europeans love toying with impractical toy-cars. here's a LINK
Believe me...I would rather take the bus than drive one of these things. One of my friend has a Triumph TR6 convertible - a true anglophile. (who else would put up with those wonderful electrical systems) When I was riding in the passenger seat I had to be careful not to let my arm hang over the door too low and mangle it on the passing pavement.
You feel helpless and so fragile in these tiny vehicles...like driving in Autopia at Disneyland 20 years ago or in some go-kart. You just know you're toast if you hit so much as a stop sign!
Broadcast power will make electric vehicles the size and weight of M1A1 tanks feasible and it wont be that far away....Steinmetz and Tesla knew this almost a hundred years ago.
Be patient.
These tiny death traps are not the transport salvation you think they are.
