Computer assisted driving might help EVs gain momentum. The skateboard is likely compromised because cars have to be built with crumple zones, but in the future they might not need to be designed to survive a crash. In this case, cars can be laid out in a more logical and efficient way with a massive reduction in weight and materials.
