Aspiring to Something New

I came across an article that mentioned a car company Aptera and their car which gets hundreds of miles to the gallon. I'd be impressed with the exciting new design (except for the fact that it looks a lot like an airplane minus the wings.) I wonder how safe the wheels sticking out from the body will be since they will have a low visibility to other drivers on the road who generally judge where other cars are by the side of the car. Maybe one day we will need to have roads just for electric cars.

In a way, it would be kind of cool if we had a 'real' gas shortage because it would cause a flurry of new innovations and a change in the rules to accommodate innovations that address a pressing need.
