    I like the enthusiasm, but I have no idea how a community driven project would interface with the appropriate regulatory boards to perform the safety tests to make such a vehicle street legal.

    Even if we got a prototype through that, the organization would then have to take on the burden of ensuring every build lived up to the prototype, and that would almost definitely go against the spirit of being community driven.

      At that point it’ll just be a company that doesn’t pay their people lol.

      community driven

      I see what you did there.

      I’m getting a bicycle because I’m two tired of all these car puns.
