They won't be ready for production until the year 2030. Question is- Where do you put your golf clubs?

Some reasons for concern come to mind, crash test, crash with me in it, air bag and the courting of a girlfriend while parked.

I saw an article on CNN a couple of days ago about this car of the future.

I believe it seats two and no room for anything else like golf clubs.

I believe they were saying this car would be equipped to almost drive itself. A concept that I am not ready for.

It's certainly an interesting concept.

BTW - I immediately thought of this vehicle replacing the golf cart but no room to put anything in it was the sticking point.

I'll take one, much as I love my present golf cart!

Since I'm not a golfer, I don't need room for my clubs!

But, I do need room for my groceries, every week.

Looks cozier in cold weather than my present cart?

How far can I go on a charge?

Well ... considering it's a concept vehicle and won't be ready til 2030, I'll leave them for the younger generation. LOL It is awfuly cute though.
