What I'm not getting:
All the "look how I made my 1 tone+ car more aero (if heavier...) so I (1 person) now get 0.00whatever more mpg! (on the highway only = 2% of the time)
Yet with a velomobile, thousands of 'MPG' at highway speeds is theoretically possible.
So its a case of:
People know that a pedestrian comes 2nd in a collision with a car.
So a small, light, low, pedestrian sized vehicle is instinctively (and correctly) perceived as less safe.
ie: 99.9999% of the population wants a vehicle that is sized/weighted to compete (or beat) the other vehicles on the road in a collision.
The ONLY way velo type micro cars will ever be accepted is if the world wakes up to discover that their car has mysteriously been replaced by a velo.
"But that's ok because so has everyone else's, so I stand as good a chance in a collision"
???
