This is seriously advanced technology. It is truly the trailblazer into a new world... and if we want anything that resembles independant transportation, we will have to accept this phase.
It will not replace the gas car for a while... but as a city car, I am all for it.
I will be blunt. If every damned soccer mom and her giant SUV vanished off the LA Freeways, I would not be sad. I hate it... these things getting 10mpg, being driven by some 100lb rich bitch with a brat in the back. WHY???? Status is one thing, but this just annoys the hell out of me. I can't see around them, they are either dangeriously slow or insanely fast... and they don't see me in my vette half the time.
there, rant over.
I cannot fathom the effect a large fleet of these kinds of cars would have on our foreign oil dependancy.
Isn't great to rant Andy! Your right! in 10 years from now is when the impact will be really felt! Now if the grid can handle it. We have soccer moms here but they drive Kias, Honda SUV and the CUBE. The big Utes are on used car lots.
