Yeah, that was my first thought on seeing the picture - does it have a crumple zone? Since the door is in the front and you're expected to climb out through the sunroof in case of a crash, I imagine it's not the sort of thing you want to ride anywhere you wouldn't ride a bicycle.
That said, city streets that only had dense electric vehicles that don't go past 20 mph (maybe a mix of things like this and buses/streetcars) would be delightful.
I wonder how much of vehicle usage is "I want to carry big things around that don't fit on an electric bicycle" and how much is "I want to get somewhere fast".
