Yeah, with four bicycle tires, zero safety, and the ability to only fit a single, moderate-sized person. It's not a "real" car by any means.
I don't rely upon cars expensive features for safety. I drive safely and am aware of my surroundings. A cars safety features are an excuse to ignore safe driving IMO. 90% of the cars that pass me every day only have one occupant. Why can't people carpool, or buy a small commuter car for commuting. Have the bigger car for when you need the room.
