I have always thought it would be fun to have one of these tiny cars just for the grocery getter. Unfortunately, if you drove one of these in the US and got into a wreck you would probably be dead. At some point, mass is a safety feature and when everyone around you is driving something 10x or more larger than you.. you are going to have a bad time.

>European car manufacturers are currently tripping over themselves to figure out how personal transport and "last mile" solutions will look in the years to come. The solutions are always electric, and they're also tiny. What most companies (bar Citroen, Renault, and Fiat) seem to have forgotten is that we've had an answer to this problem all along: the microcar.
