It would meet a need in the US if restricted to low-speed roads, eg for older drivers. Maybe young drivers and low-income people too. At low speed you just don't need a lot of the fancy stuff.
- dymk 4y agoWhat are these low speed roads you're talking about? I'm not aware of any laws that allow a car to not have airbags on public roads based on speed. The closest thing I can think of is e.g. communities that have dedicated paved roads (which don't allow normal cars) for golf carts to putt around.
- crooked-v 4y agoYou seem to be unaware that low-speed vehicles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-speed_vehicle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-speed_vehicle) exist as a legal category.
- crooked-v 4y agoVehicles for that already exist in the US, like the Polaris GEM line: https://gem.polaris.com/en-us/street-legal-carts/ https://gem.polaris.com/en-us/street-legal-carts/ You just don't see them because nobody in the US is willing to restrict the usage of normal cars, even where it's obviously needed.
