There a long way from a design study to a production ready design. |
In reverse order: wipers can be tucked into a pocket.
It has normal ground clearance at the front, and if the aero is ideal, the rear would have higher than normal clearance.
The brakes would be fine. If it had an electric drivetrain, it would barely use its friction brakes, anyway.
Look at the Tesla door handles.
I think it has a sliding door, and it certainly could have a hatch.
We need to change this law, and allow video side mirrors.
We don't know what the interior dimensions are. My CarBEN EV5 design is largely based on the Bionic (aka Boxfish) and my design has 3 seats with space for people ~6'-4"+ and a seat for someone ~5'-8, and a seat for someone ~5'-0" tall; 5 seats total.
