    • Top speed and range are not stupid, you can drive this without a license, that is a key part of the idea.deadsperm
    • hiBennn
    • a mopped can go fasterBennn
    • Yeah so when u pass your 18th birthday it will add an extra 20km/h to its speed, 60 if you get your license.sted
    • Oh and over 18 you can use the boost lanes in the selected areas to gain some extra speed on roads where it's safe.sted
    • Urban areas, which this intended for, are limited to 50 or 30. You either like the idea or you don't. I you want to leave the shire you best be getting an SUV.deadsperm
    • France already has a bunch of these type of toy cars that don't need a permit. They're mostly used by alcoholics who had their license revoked.deadsperm

    • More like Heelys.
      If you can't use a bike or rely on public transportation in your daily life you need to reconsider your life choices.

    • my commute is under this - this would be a great 2nd vehicle - does it need to be insured?timeless
    • love the idea. who knows how city transport will look in 10 years.inteliboy
    • Hopefully city transport will abolish private ownership in the future. I see self a driving cars as cars as a means to this end.deadsperm
    • I am less impressed in the technological development of self driving cars than in the social change that they might bring.deadsperm
    • in the words of Henry Ford "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”deadsperm
    • "Cleaner" energies wont bring a significant change to transportation but a change in how we use/consume transportation will.deadsperm
    • The people are focused on how "cool" driving cars are only thinking of getting one for themselves and not the social impact they would have.deadsperm
    • I'm too drunk to make sense.
      Self driving cars = abolishment of private ownership = real environmental improvement.
