- Zigurd 5y agoThe minimum viable car has gotten much safer, and much bigger. Reversing this trend and enabling right-sized vehicles will be one of the many benefits of autonomous vehicle technology and other active safety technology. Except for getting crushed like an insect, I don't need more than a vehicle weighing a few hundred pounds -- less than the weight of a Tesla battery -- for commuting. It would be less expensive and require less of everything, especially battery.
