looks very futuristic. but i feel like if a girl was going down on me while i'm driving...the cops will see and pull me over.

Go back to sustainable power, here's a car that visited Toronto a few years ago that would fit cycleguy's lifestyle.

Pretty neat.

But here's a problem I see.

That front trunk is too tempting. I could just imagine putting groceries there.

And then apples and oranges falling out of their bags, and then you gotta search all over the car for stray apples and oranges.

And the gas/brake on the steering wheel will take a lot of getting used to.

Doesn't look like it would be very effective in front end collisions.

Actually, with the roll bar "cage" it would be better than a front engine vehicle as you wouldn't have to deal with all that mass being pushed back into the passenger compartment......

Did anyone else notice the ability to have it right or left hand drive? Instead of having to build a basically whole new car you just slide the controls left or right.....

I could picture my kids wanting to sit with their faces right in the front window...LOL

Yes, that is totally cool... and that you can swap out different "tops" as well!

I'm sure that's a skateboard hydrogen car - drive/by/wire.....

That's way to gay to go into production.....

OTB

How did GM get a hold of my Star Trek Runabout?

 

[blackrock13]

In 20, years I can sit in the driverseat and watch the biggest MFin' stone kick up and kiss the screen, in slow motion of course. Three generations away, too bad.

 

[flubadub]

Yeah, but who want's to sit on top of a big hydrogen tank.
And where are you getting the hydrogen from.
otherwise, quite cool

 

[marikiss]

hydrogen is safer than gasoline. If the tank leaks it just evaperates away, pretty quickly, gas just spills and hangs around. I heard some guy from the pheonix project or something like that, say they had plans for large ships that had a windmill or two on them for electricity, and then suck in sea water to convert to hydrogen.
