Tiny electric car folds up into itself for easy parking

Neat idea...but glad it'll be limited to city streets.

Totally agree on the limit - however for those urban commuters who are limited to surface streets it might work really well. Too bad we'll never be able to buy it (safety reg's, etc..)..

Don't disagree. And am tired of a commitment to being dumber than the rest of the industrialized world.

Honestly I hope I can get one of these. I like the ideas in the unit. but like others I have heard it b4. I remember seeing stuff like this in Popular Science back in the early 70's. Talking about how we would have this and that. P.S. Remember when we went to the moon? Well if it was so great why am I not living there by now?

As I live in a town this little car would suit me right down to the ground. So why am I not jumpimg up and down with excitment at the thought that the bubble car is back, and its electric.WELL, WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD. It costs me ??25 e weed to travel around the same town roads every week, because the public transport does not take me where I want to go. And are the powers that be, going to allow me to have ??25 more in my pocket. WELL, WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD.

But then, most inner cities have decent public transport. OTOH, this might be good for those "share car" setups, where you rent a car for a short time (1hr) and drop it off at your destination.
