I am shocked every time I see one of those driving in SF. street parking must be awful!

I drove one as a loaner.

It is big. No dashboard. square steering wheel without turn signals or gear stalk. The rear-view mirror doesn't see out unless you lower the cover in the back. The side mirrors are strangely shaped and small. The front corners are a mysterious mostly unpredictable distance out the front window.

But then... It has cameras in all directions including the front bumper. There is a top-down sort of heat-map display when you park. All 4 wheels can be turned for a tighter turning circle. and it can self-park.

So... I would feel embarrassed to be seen in it, but it was definitely an interesting experience.
