The day I get to see an Aptera Atlas in traffic instead of an online video is getting closer.
It's been a long haul for Aptera to get to this point. Build quality will determine if Aptera survives, in my opinion.

I've no complaints - as long as it doesn't fly.
You can say that again!
Manufacturers of three-wheelers have to work with governments over evolving certification standards.
Vehicles that are cleared for licensing on public roads can run into difficulties with insurance companies, especially if crash test results are subpar.

The reason it can't happen is that these toy cars aren't able to meet any crash test requirements.
They are basically just golf carts where even being t-boned by the smallest conventional car would result in serious or fatal injury.
On the other hand, I never thought these would be passed for highway driving in Ontario.

I've got a feeling that Aptera, just like the Smart Car model ForTwo, may face restrictions to the point that Aptera could investigate a partnership with a Chinese manufacturer just to gain the resources needed to offer a new model that is more conventional. George Jetson will have to wait.

It would probably be uninsurable because a 5 mph accident would total the vehicle out. The insurance company wouldn’t care about you dying in it.
There’s nothing on that car that would be repairable or replaceable.

The smart car has received top level safety ratings in test. You’re safer in it than most large pickup trucks.

The Smart has an amazingly strong passenger cell for such a small car. You can be tough without being bulky.
It's not just all about passive safety, the ability to survive a crash.
Active safety matters too, the ability to avoid the crash in the first place.
Agile, lighter cars, where the driver feels connected to the road, do, I believe, improve hazard awareness and therefore hazard avoidence.
Like with defence, it is easy to get into a dangerous situation, far far better to stay out of trouble.
