The regulations on "cars" apply if they drive on most streets.
We've regulated our way into being forced to buy $20,000+ vehicles weighing thousands of pounds, and somehow see this as normal and natural.
- fennecfoxen 6y agoAptera, a failed EV startup that has un-failed and is now super hot stuff again, wants to sell you a three-wheeled electric car that was, at the time, legally a motorcycle, but now sees new regulatory categories in many states that don't need a motorcycle license. (It's got two wheels in front, one in back.) The good news is that it doesn't weigh thousands of pounds, the bad news is it's still a $26,000+ vehicle.
