I’d rather ride a bicycle than drive that thing.

The front door seems like a bad idea.
I don’t see why they couldn’t use standard doors.
The idea is kinda interesting, even if it doesn’t really “fold” in the traditional sense.
I also don’t understand the reason for the gimmickry. You could easily do the same thing with a standard FWD vehicle with stock controls if you used flexible brake lines or some sort of separate rear brake module.

That has to be the most idiotic thing I’ve seen today...and I saw the SCOTUS decision on AZ.

A folding car.
Just imagine how fun it will be to get in even the smallest accident and have your car fold up around you.
Maybe they should name it the 'Darwin'.

As to the car in question.. It’s not a car, they say as much. It’s a motorized bike. That way they can get around crash tests. It does not even have air bags that are required in a “car”.
