    I get annoyed by them all the time because people rip them around in places you wouldn’t take a car, and they’re getting powerful enough to be dangerous. Still, the potential is huge. They use so much less space, infrastructure, and energy than cars. They’re also significantly cheaper.

      They’ve killed off the 50cc Vespa gas scooter, just too good of a technology. The old 50cc’s were a pain, have to gas them up, and not always starting. Couldn’t bring them inside, too dirty of a motorcycle. It’ll be a slow change, still a newish technnology. Much to figure out about using them in traffic and such.
