Bullshit Alert: Citroën rolls out accessible-to-all Ami car that works "just like a smartphone"

#Comment: Electric or Gasoline, Tiny or Big - A car is a car is a car. Compared with public transport (trams etc. which they compete against), the passenger density of a car is horrendous. The incredibly high accident/death ratio of cars won't change due to such new form-factors either (maybe on the contrary), the same is true for traffic congestion. Plus such "cheap tiny throwaway elector cars" will clearly have a substantial environmental impact, just at a different position in the supply chain then gasoline cars. The designers, engineers and managers of such "innovations" clearly suffer from a radical lack of imagination and compassion.
