unironically, transportation needs to be divorced from all the weird psychomarketing baggage it has picked up. carbrains have gone completely insane wrt size, power, speed etc. beyond all practical justification

disagree. what we need to do is invert the size complex. i wanna see cars get smaller and cuter without regard for safety or practicality.
need the miniature car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agRow9dyqo0
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
If a big truck means you have a small dick what does a bicycle mean?

I just want a car with good lumbar support for the seats
cars serve a purpose and a centralized rental authority in every district would make a lot of sense. while carbrain is a thing, we must never lose sight of the fact that capital gets what it wants in liberal democratic societies and a society in which rail and trolley and tram is replaced by cars represents a society in which capital has determined there is enough wealth to exploit to enforce transport costs upon the individual even upon workers (as in they know they do not risk loss of productivity).
anybody who has sat in the same traffic day after day and month after month knows that they're essentially on a train, it's just that the state has decided they must pay for their own train car and the other choice is waking up at 3:45am to get to work at 8am
little short range electric pod cars to rent first come first serve at the terminus of HSR or commuter trains in rural areas to put around and sightsee
Tell me you don't live in a rural area without telling me you don't live in a rural area.
I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but I live in a rural "city" and I feel this kind of solution would just barely work, if at all. You're still looking at nearly everyone out here needing their own personal vehicle. Like yeah cars ruin big cities, but for the most part the only thing cars really did for rural areas was just replace the horse and cart. Especially since I'm pretty sure a lot of railroads were closing down and or merging together for a variety of reasons long before the advent of cars and carbrain.

absolutely not, no. 1790s guys did not have a 1 hour horse cart commute, this is carbrain applied retroactively to the past
MITUBISHI SIIMBBNU
I didn't notice this was AI generated 
SIIMBBПU
If we limit most cars to 40 km/h just think of all the silly designs that would no longer be deemed unsafe!
I know it's an AI generated car, but it's kinda cute.
I wonder if that extra glass dome space up top would double as storage space for things like groceries.
It would get so fucking hot in there during the summer
You can cook your groceries and have a hot snack while driving 😋
Not gonna lie I love this.
Aww what a cute fella.
The car is just a cute little frog guy 
Looks like some Capsule Corp. stuff from Dragon Ball
Take it for a test drive and you’ll agree: zagreb ebnom zlotdik diev.
This is not a yugo gv...
I like it
It looks like the cars from Busytown
I always thought the Zastava Yugo and the Fiat 126p were pretty rad. Ditto the VAZ 2105...
I'm ok with it.
Mitubishi is Communist?!
They're actually historically fash. They made a lot of planes for the imperial army in WWII. Granted, most governments will order corporations to do stuff during war, but Mitsu used slave labor and committed a lot of atrocities IIRC.
No unless there’s an insane new industrial method that lets you make domed automotive glass like that for like zero dollars.
You have finally win me over. I now live for communism, and die happy.
That doesn't look like it'd survive up here during the half-year we're frozen.
Edit: also screw Mitsubishi. I'll never buy from those fascists

This is the cutest way to die
You get a color at random from the capsule machine, and they’re all perfect
this is a car i'd drive if i was a silly lil fella
That car looks a bit like the time machine from little-remembered Pixar movie Meet the Robinsons.
Meet the Robinsons
Wasn't this a pre-pixar Disney release?
Probably. I forgot there was a period when their partnership lapsed before they just bought it.
All I can see if the sound the Jetson's flying car makes...
Also... there's no windshield wiper...
hell yeah
Jetsons vibes
I know this is a joke but I find it to be rather upsetting, on several levels. I strongly dislike this image.
Also, this car reminds me of Meet the Robinsons.
