Many people in these comments are saying "this is stupid, why not just use a bicycle?" and I just can't fathom this line of reasoning.

The point of this car is not to replace bicycles. It's to replace big cars.

Smaller, lighter, slower cars on the roads will make cycling safer. This is a net positive for bicycles and e-bikes and cargo trikes and the rest of the fun things that you are suggesting. This is not an all-or-nothing decision. If we don't support car alternatives, we'll be stuck with cars.
