Pros of golf carts and neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) replacing all private cars within a city:

• Only goes as fast as a bicycle, so isn’t a viable suburban commuter vehicle, meaning you’ll probably only take it to the nearest transit station
• Only goes as fast as a bicycle, so isn’t likely to kill people
• Excellent visibility, so less likely to run over children
• Much smaller and lighter, so building parking garages for park-and-rides would be a lot cheaper and less objectionable than with our current style of cars
• Electric
• Smaller batteries than jumbo EVs
• Compatible with dense, transit-oriented city development
• Could be installed with mandatory speed limiters

Cons:

• Less profit for GM and ExxonMobil
