Is this really the future?

The Tata Nano is being released in India and at around $2000, it's the cheapest new car ever. I don't necessarily have a problem with it, except that driving a car like that while other people on the road still have SUVs and diesel trucks seems suicidal. I mean, if the world was one big go kart track, it'd be one thing. I'm all in favor of slowing down and smelling the flowers, but one accident in the Tata Nano, and you're bye-bye, now-now...

  1. Unsafe? I can't be sure... but I will say that if I ever see one on the road, I will make it my holy mission to see how it handles being rammed by my Dodge pickup.

    Just for testing purposes, of course.

    This is what we call backwards technology. The enviro-nitwits want mankind to regress to some Utopian vision of "pureness" so that we will stop harming Mother Gaia once and for all.

    Ridiculous does not begin to cover it.

    Nice go-cart analogy, by the way.
