Some people pursue this because of the lesser safety restrictions, but you should already know that.
Autocycle, not motorcycle. There's a pretty big difference. But you should already know that.

This time next year Aptera will still be begging for money.
Yep a year later they were begging for 50 million dollars to start production. Somehow they grifted a few million dollars and that was enough to probably start production.
These guys are the Ukrainians of the motoring world.

I did not see that coming. More likely Anarcho-capilalism?

While the half-body-of-revolution argument rages in other threads. Aptera is the only one to instantiate Morelli's aeroform.
