Obviously the Carport is only going to succeed if they are
planted all over the country (especially for long road trips).
Can't have them just at home or it limits how far one can and
will drive. So, should these start popping up all over the
place, I suspect they will be high crime targets and people will
no doubt try to strip them for parts. I hope they have some sort
of security implemented to keep thieves away. The design as you
said Mac is brilliant though.

Buzzkill dude, buzzkill
No seriously, I expect major strides in the battery technology.
The limited distance has and will be addressed. I believe the
TESLA has a 250 mile range.
And yes, these would be targets for criminals like anything else
the wealthy posses.
It's a changing world.
While I'm not a iPhone user, I still don't understand why there
isn't charging stations for the phones. Just set it on a base
and let it charge. Hell, my toothbrush does that. Why do I have
plug my phone in all the time. Hate it.

Not trying to be a buzzkill, it's a fascinating achievement. But
when it comes to things like this, the first thing that ALWAYS
pops into my head is "how do I protect the asset and keep people
from ripping me off". Become a victim enough times (personal
experience) and suddenly you shift into a different mode.

I, fortunately, have become a victim only once years ago. Stole
my stereo outta my car. It was a sickening feeling.
I guess when you it happens enough, your perspective changes.

The tech is amazing in that they can even do stuff like this.
But lets be honest here, this is never going to work with the
majority of people still driving on the road themselves. This is
a HUGE ACCIDENT waiting to happen. Now if we were in a time (see
any Sci-Fi flick like Minority Report) and all the vehicles on
the road were driverless, then yeah, it would have some success.
But until that day happens.....not gonna happen. And for that
day to happen, I think it would actually have it be a law that
was passed, banning personal-driven vehicles off the road to
make way for this new invention? Agree or disagree? And just in
case you were confused, I'm talking about open, public roads and
highways.....not private property or race tracks.

It will happen in gradual phases.

If I didn't live in a big city, I'd jump on this. I think
something like this a great solution as the speaker says. Not a
replacement, but an 'and' vehicle.

But I would always be hesitant of car size and weight in
relation to other cars on the road.

Color me intrigued. I actually like the design. So, what's the
sticker price?

$6,800 is damn cheap. There's gotta be a catch. So, would this
be allowed on the Freeway?
