I percieve that vehicles like this will be part of the future of transport, but I feel unconfortable with claims that they are the "sole solution". The future will be brighter and cooler if we have smaller and efficient vehicles, AND we built and re-built our cities so we need less indiviudal motor vehicle trips. We wont have problems of the last mile solution, if most of the trips we need are less than a mile long (we can walk, bike, hop on a bus) I also feel unconfortable with the zero-emission claims: if we keep an electric grid that is heavily dependable on carbon and other fosil fuels, it is not true that emissions are zero.
