I think that they do work, and can work a lot better later on.

This is the one I want -- unfortunately, it's still just a prototype.

Europe has a bunch of extremely thrifty tiny cars, but no one will
import them. I emailed VW about a Polo, and they just offered me a
Jetta. <grrrrr> Part of the trouble is crash-resistance, which super-light
vehicles are not good at. However, if gas gets so expensive that people
stop driving tanks, the roads might not be so dangerous later on.
