South Korea Creates Folding Electric Car Called the Armadillo-UNSAFE!!!

First of all this is a really stupid idea for a car. I mean honestly, why would you want a car that folds in half? South Korea has really lost it on this one. This new Armadillo car looks similar to a VW Bug only not as pushed out in the back and more bubbly on top and in the front. Once you park this car, you get out of the half door and then you send a command from your smart phone to the car and the back half folds up and over the front of the car kind of like a giant clam in one of those cartoons. Here are my issues with this. So now the back wheels are up in the air and underneath the car in the middle are 2 stalks that drop down and it doesn't look like they have wheels attached. So can someone please tell me, if another Armadillo cars comes and parks behind yours while it is closed. How are you going to get your car out of the parking spot? You can't open it because it is now blocked in. You can't get inside of your car, because the back half now blocks the doors. So you are stuck until the other person comes and moves his car. The only way this car would be a good idea is is if you only parked it on a diagonal. That way once closed you could cannot be blocked in. Another of the drawbacks is that this car can only do a top speed of 37 mph. So at that speed it is not freeway worthy. However, that is not the biggest drawback. The BIGGEST drawback to this car is that it is NOT safe when it comes to car crashes. OUCH! That's not good at all! If I die in a crash, that's going to ruin my day for sure. Don't you think?  HAHAHAHA At least it comes in a nice blue and silver 2 tone color. hahahaha

  1. Seem to be an interesting share. I think Electric car buyers guide will be the best option to look for suitable recommendations to select one. Their functionality and working can be better understood from them. Will buy one after detailed study and price determinations.
