I get what you’re saying, and I agree it’s technically a good thing. But I have a problem with the fact that as noted, there’s no climate control, and no safety features. This will be on the roads with normal vehicles, doesn’t fit in a bike lane, and despite essentially being an efficient car, there’s no seatbelt. If somebody gets t-boned in one of these, or in any kind of wreck in general with a standard car or truck, they will likely die horribly.

I’ve no qualms with improving efficiency, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of safety for the vehicle operator who is being required to use this for work for likely many hours per day.
