Wtf is the title on about. Its an art project and absurdly impractical as a car.
Almost like all the things mentioned in the title are brought together in the art he made. I don't remember the title saying practical car alternative.
Not really sustainable?
Part of sustainability is being content with less and this art can be seen as a literal embodiment of that ethos.

It's super effective!
Fiat Panda has fainted!
How does that not tip over when you turn?
Just stick the leg out the door in tight turns
That's the neat part—you don't [turn].
I'm surprised it didn't fall over when he opened the door
By keeping the speeds low.
From the article:
"Power comes from a modest electric motor, thought to be sourced from an e scooter and powered by a 24 V battery, pushing the car to about 15 km/h (9 mph) with an approximate 25 km (15 mi) range."
Yeah, a motorcycle tilts as you turn so you stay stable. This looks like it would just fall over.

Not sure, but this is an example of an incredibly narrow car that had a pretty reasonable top speed
Some of the claims seem... un reasonable but it would have to be relatively stable to hit highway speeds
He turned a 1993 Fiat Panda into a 1993 Flat Panda.
Not to mention hilarity. Cool project though.
Uplifting? Why?
Despite being too narrow for legal road use and only offering toy car speeds
OP just spams articles utubepublisher dot in
It’s bot posted crap and people are blindly engaging with it. Lemmy is going to end up like Reddit, I fear.
Someday the car brains might invent bicycles, at this rate.
Clarkson will be proud.
Looks like the kind of thing you'd drive in a parade.
Every once in a while the driver's feet come out the bottom, he reaches his hands out the windows, and he picks the car up like it's a dress being kept out of a puddle.
Now drive it over a slightly slanted road.
Coffin shaped so he can be buried in it with no fuss over prep
How the hell does that not just tip over taking a turn?
Is this a joke? First minor accident and that dude is toast. This is a guy fucking around not creating the next great invention
This car would do fine in cities that primarily commute with motorcycles and bicycles.
The fact this car would be toast in some countries speaks more to its car dependency infrastructure, creeping vehicle sizes, dangerously high front end heights, and extraneous emotional support trucks.
It would flip onto it's side the first time you tried to turn at all.
