1. I see this as a great start
Edited on Wed Sep-01-10 01:04 PM by ThomasQED
But people won't start using vehicles like this until they are enclosed (one of the main reasons people use cars is to be out of the rain, heat, cold, etc.) and go faster. I can't tell from the video how fast it goes - maybe this one is good in that area.

On edit: And affordable... this is over $15k!

Thanks for posting!

6. OK I watched two videos and
had to stop.

Either the guy driving had trouble staying away from the yellow dividing line in the middle, or the car is somewhat difficult to control.

Couldn't decide which one it was...

Just seemed like he/it was all over the road.


Like someone else said, though...good start.
