If people were realistic about their needs (and the auto industry actually listened) they would be driving something like this instead of the Micro-Penis F3500 CurbStomper.

    This exists, though I don't think it's available in the US.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_truck

    I vaguely recall talk of safety standards or something, but that might have just been propaganda, no idea.

    Edit: according to that page they are, in fact, available in the US

    Yea safety generally is pretty abysmal in these cars (technically quadracycles or something similar here in Europe). Kei cars/trucks is something different, they’re quite a bit bigger than this and they’re closer (in construction and design) to normal cars, quadracycles (in Europe) generally use industrial engines like those found on ride-on lawnmowers and a cvt/torque converter like those on scooters. But this doesn’t matter as my comment were about people being real about their needs.

    Even for two-seater sedans, we can do better than a tin can with a crash test rating of "don't."

    ... and the Fuck Cars communities would still complain that you should take the bus.

    In no way could I fit the tools I use daily in this, no way I could fit the extra stuff I need for a new job in it. No way I could use this for a trip, I could barely fit basic camping supplies in it. This would be great if I only needed to go 20 miles around me, and not really carry anything. But yes, is mostly useless.
