The thing looks eco friendly and fuel efficient. you can aslo add 2 more wheels on it and make it $5000 cheaper. You can probably market it the final product as a "nano" car type of eco friendly transportation device. Alot of rich people would buy it just to say "oh i care about our environment, my hummer and ferraris' are parked in my garage"

I saw a neat documentary on CBC last night about how MIT is trying to find a solution to traffic problems, and future cars...


They are designing a similar thing to this - a small, folding car which can be "stacked" in a line up.

Tonnes of these cars are available to the public with access via a credit card - on a pay per use basis.

You walk up to the stack, hop in, pay, and then when you're done with the car, you park it at another stack.

Neat idea.

good idea. but too sool junior

the roads will have to adapt to these "new" types of vehicles they should have their own lane/traffic system as they will be slow and will take up a lane. Yes it's small and nibble but its still 2 people side by side so at least it's gonna be the same size as the old mini.

no one in Vancouver will EVER buy this just because its not a big urban city. something like tokyo, nyc places like that will be useful but will require lanes for these things.
