Sure there could be weeds, plastic bags etc.
Sure there could be weeds, plastic bags, shirts etc. I have seen all kinds of stuff blowing around on the highway. While it is possible I do not think the exposed axles are too big of a problem.
Basjoos has proved several things with his car that aerodynamics can make a huge difference. The Aptera is using really clean Aero and lightwight to make a car that will not need much power to get decent performance and great power. Not only that I like the look of the Aptera. It is designed to perform with few comprimises made for looks.
In other countries they use bicycles, mopeds, busses for transportation. The Aptera can give good mileage and still have much of the freedom and creature comforts just not possible with those other means of transportation.
I think this is the car of the future in many ways. In Europe people like in massive apartments that have thousands of people and busses and mass transit is a good means of transportation. Plus those apartments do not even have a place for them to park the cars if they had one. Here in America most people live in their own house or smaller apartments spread out more. Mass transportation is just not a good option here and bicycles or mopeds is not good for most of us to.
In the near future I think there will be a bunch of these type vehicles and they will be mass produced and sell for $10,000 or so. In my opinion there is no reason for it to cost $30,000. I bet the motorcycle companies and some of the car manufacturors are taking a close look at this.
