"Smart" Cars

[Cristobal’s Colon]

What's the industry verdict on these cars? Why are they still being marketed? Any personal experiences?

[Jewelsmakerguy]

You mean AI cars, or those stupid looking Beetle knockoffs?

Because I don't want either of those around.

 

[ForgedBlades]

Smart folded years ago.

Why is there no option for "gay"?

Quality thread OP 10000000 out of 10.

 

[Tranhuviya]

I guarantee the mean IQ would go up if cars were made less survivable, so I am all for their acceptance.

Natural selection to weed out the soys

Lacking common sense or even knowledge of basic physics, they see microcars and think "Easy parking! Cheap gas! What's not to like?"

They are wowed by the high tensile steel "safety" cage, a structure touted to be stronger than plain steel. With such rigid surroundings however, the occupants now become the crumple zone.

That crash dummy has suffered three deaths' worth of broken necks and impalements, from that one test.

We need to shill microcars in college towns.

I want to ride a horse. What is wrong with that.

Mr Hands?

Mr Hands?

I'll ride a chariot.

 

[Cristobal’s Colon]

I'll ride a chariot.

Both would be safer than a microcar.

No matter how smart, there will always be natural stupidity.

Tesla shills:"This massive lithium-ion battery comprised of over 6800 individual 18650 cells is safer than a ruptured fuel line in the event of a freeway crash."

This one ignited at the scene of the crash, and twice afterward
Third time's a charm.

 

[Y2K Baby]

Both would be safer than a microcar.

With a jetpack.

I crossed the street, the other day, when the light was red because I saw nobody coming. I heard a crunch under my heel, and looked at it when I got to the other side. I saw a crushed smart car stuck to it and pulled out a dying vegan, who perished in the palm of my hand. In his honor, I buried him in my backyard and planted some kale on top of the grave.

I no longer wear leather soles.

I don't think I'd drive anything smaller than a Mazda 3.

Suit yourself, I personally wouldn't drive anything smaller than a pre-1980 Cadillac Fleetwood.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I've heard they're fun to drive, but much like a security guard on a Segway, I've never seen somebody drive by in one and managed to contain my laughter.

I'll ride a chariot.

Why not a rickshaw?
