Does it have a cup holder that won\'t spill anything when converting between parking and driving modes?

I have to say that\'s cool as hell. My only real concern is how crash worthy is it in a frontal impact?

@Davey Oops!

I think it\'s a great concept, but here in the US, you can get a 4 seat Hyundai Accent for $17,430!
And other decent cars for below that.

I love the two concerns. And I agree, that thing is cool as hell.

I wouldn\'t pay $17,000 for a golf cart. That\'s ridiculous.

I love it. That is a clever design. I currently drive a very light weight Honda Insight mark I. This 700kg vehicle is made of aluminium and when in a crash probably won\'t leave much of me. So here is the thing. I KNOW that and as a result I drive more carefully.
Don\'t you think the increased safety of cars leaves the drivers more careless?
But this car is a perfect city runner. Speeds normally around 50-60 kmh with maybe peaks of around 80 kmh. The lower speeds make it safer already.
This crazy thing about wanting to drive a \"tank\" for safety is out of hand and turns people into poor drivers. You can argue that you are safe but the other person is not but the tide needs to be turned around somewhere.
Scooters tend to be dangerous vehicles in Auckland New Zealand because there are very few. Few push bikes as well. Highly dangerous to drive them. Yet in many big Asian cities there are thousands of these things and form the main traffic on the roads. There it is not dangerous because people are used to them.
The sheer coolness factor of this vehicle would make me put in an order.

you may not have to worry about paint off the door edge,but there may be a few dents in the side when the normal car tries to get out.

The problem they are trying to solve seems valid, but their solution is unnecessarily expensive and complex. If you want a smaller car just count the number of people in each car around you next time you are stuck in traffic, you\'ll find almost all contain only one person. So, why would you choose a complex and expensive folding car when all that is needed is a single seater which would be simpler and probably cheaper?

I would drive this car. I agree with Dinther, If everyone drove these types of cars the danger would be much less. Their already are many smartcar\'s on the road. I welcome the age of the small efficient car.
I hope in the future.we just rent these types of cars or other larger cars for purpose based transportation .
