[image] People would probably hate cars a lot less if they were limited in size and speed to a golf cart
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
I knew a guy that grew up there, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and was kinda shocked that all the other folks we worked with (most of us from other parts of Georgia than Peachtree City) didn't have golf carts growing up. Actually seems like a cool idea, although it only works if you can afford a golfcart
