    As in those laws would make this shape illegal. Busses and trucks are flat nosed to spread impact over a wider area. It’s meant to knock them back, whereas this would shatter someone’s hip and either throw them over or under the vehicle.

      So I assume this will never be street legal then?

          Awesome, thanks for getting me to look into it.

          “Under U.S. federal law (specifically the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration / FMVSS definitions), any motor vehicle with no more than three wheels is legally classified as a motorcycle. At the state level, vehicles like the Aptera (which feature a steering wheel, bucket seats, and foot pedals) are generally regulated as autocycles.”

          So you’re incorrect, and all I need to do this is this. 😂
