Automobile design changes due to Robocars

Or to specific fuels in certain areas, or for sleeping, and much more.


Brad. If I wanted a car

Brad. If I wanted a car like this I would take a L'Eggs Pantyhose container, enlarge it, and glue it to my bike.

That's an Aero-rider

I don’t have one, it’s an electric tricycle. It’s an example of a super efficient ultralightweight, which uses about 100 btus/mile, of 250 at the power plant, which is 10-20x as efficient as cars or transit systems.

It’s just an example of the type of vehicle that might be designed when you can design a vehicle for a specific purpose (in this case efficient short urban trips for a single person.)
