People want 500HP big gas guzzling American muscle and $1.00 per gallon gas. The only reason that is not the only thing you see on the road and at the pumps today is left wing nanny state politics.
No it isn’t. There’s actually a demand for them. Old people who can’t drive anymore, people with long boring commutes, taxi companies (one of the companies doing the work is Uber). There IS a market for it, doesn’t matter how hard you decide to deny it, surveys are showing initial market penetration of around 10% and that’s just private.
Times have changed. People don’t want 500HP gas guzzling American muscle anymore. For one thing those cars all broke down constantly. And the rode like wagons. You’re living in the past, out here in the current self driving cars you don’t have to pay attention to so you can sleep, read, hang out on the internet or get laid are what people want.
