Ohmygoodness

Via boing boing, this amazing new electric mini-car for short jaunts and commutes: The Tango seats two (one behind the other), takes up only half a lane, and . . . get this . . . can park facing the curb, in the cracks between other cars!!
Move over, Mini; the new second car for commuter families may have just arrived!

Yeah, I've seen it. Very economical. I think that it's unable to pass American road safety requirements (probably because of all the monster trucks on the road), which led me to wonder whether the Tango would be road-safe. Not certain of the answer (and this car is even smaller, given its narrowness), but it seems like they're using racecar standards (which involve strapping the driver in for safer rolls, etc.)...
