It looks fun but the dude driving it on discovery looked scary. He looked like he was about to go off the road because it didn't "corner" fast enough. I just don't have a lot of faith in the hydro steering system.

There is a company is Los Angeles that is using the patent from the Carver and is trying to make a hybrid and EV out of it for the US market. They said they expect to sell it on 2010. Their list of partners are deep in auto industry experience.

Several Co. out there working on a 3 wheel style car. Don't think it is going to be on the road until gas get a lot higher and the SUV's are parked.
