It ticks a lot of different boxes, because it's not a car. If we banned cars from cities and instead used LUVs, we could have more of them in the roads moving faster, because there's less risk and more space. More trips could happen faster for more use cases.
Imagine multiple levels of roads that don't have to support as much weight. Parking structures that can handle 20x the number of vehicles. Public rentals like scooters so you don't have to park one at home but one is always nearby. The convenience of going shopping in a personal bubble and utility to haul back tons of stuff.
It will take anther 50-100 years to end the domination of cars, but they will end, because LUVs will just be so much cheaper and more convenient, once we tailor cities to them rather than to cars the way they are now.
