Safer than a motorbike and we allow those, and many commutes are entirely slow traffic - could be an opportunity to write a special law to allow these, within reason - what do you think?

The slower the speed, the cheaper the vehicle can be and the more widespread innovation you can have. This makes e-bikes, scooters, kei-trucks a very interesting area… and means Americans are doomed to be car-poor if they always have to spend $20k + $x00 a month to get something new.
