I'm skeptical of other parts of it as well; for example, one of the memory sections uses logos from popular software projects (inkscape, gnome, etc). It was a lot easier to remember the logos I'd seen before vs the ones I hadn&#x2

Are there companies making modern versions of these vehicles (with the same small size and great fuel economy but with modern safety features)?
