RE: MIT's radical proposal for an ultra-compact, foldable electric vehicle
While I like the idea - I don't think computer controlled would be the best solution. Can we way Power Outage? Should the power go out at my place or work or my home - I can still get in a car and navigate. If the power goes out - the computer goes down - then what? Will the car operate manually?
The rail line also suggests that I will never vary from my path to run an errand - pick up dinner/dry cleaning/etc.
