Quite right ElM. <they will be selling gazillions of 1.000cc cards tiny little things that will pre-empt car poolling.>

But 1000cc is too big for around town. 500cc is plenty. All that's needed is a cabin with four wheels, weighing 200 kg. A small truck to move 70kg of human is ridiculous.

The 500cc motor will be replaced with a methanol or ethanol fuel cell driving 4 independently powered wheels. They will be electronically and photonically controlled by Qualcomm's CDMA/OFDMA communication systems combined with gpsOne managed by proximity and other sensors acting as eyes and ears.

Passengers will not drive them other than telling them the destination.
