Comment You're missing the point. (Score 1) 257
Every time I read one of these negative kinds of responses to these new, super-small, super-efficient vehicle alternatives about how unsafe they are going to be, I can't help but think that the poster is missing the point.
Yes, compared to vehicles commonly available today, these will probably be structurally inferior.
But these vehicles are for the future. In the future, probably the near future, many people are going to be choosing between going to work on foot or a bicycle, because they won't be able to afford to drive any of the vehicles commonly available today.
Compared to going on foot or a bicycle, these kinds of cars are just fine.
