The appearance of it must be top secret or something(??). The article says it has 75 patents. Curious that the Chi-com copycats are suddenly concerned about patents.....

It looks rugged. Obviously, it would need major modification to meet American and European auto safety standards. But I can see myself behind the wheel of one!

The article says it has 75 patents. Curious that the Chi-com copycats are suddenly concerned about patents..... They're trying to rehabilitate their image as an outlaw nation on the issue of intellectual properties. What they're doing is known as "patent breaking." Thomas Edison was a very prolific patent breaker. He carefully examined a competitor's patent application, helpfully published by the patent office years before the patent was granted, and developed a way to "work around" the patent with a similar device that would not infringe his competitor's patent. The Chinese are doing this.

What used to be a 99 year protection (I think) was changed to 18 months, or something like that.
China is only CYA'ing themselves to be (more) part of the American economy .. IMO.
